Often times the food of love is sorrow

Here today it could be gone tomorrow

Love can be even more fragile than a shell

Once a love is broken then there's no more spell

I thought at last you appearing was fated

That you by God for me had been created

The time we spent together I will not regret

The memories I have I shall never forget

I remember when you said there was no chance

When you told me there could be no romance

That when two months were up you could not remain

But that warning didn't register in my brain

I hadn't been lucky in love what had I to lose

I asked you out on a date you did not refuse

We so easily found ourselves in an impasse

Yet this chance to be with you I could not surpass

I realized without too much computing

That we were far too old for major uprooting

You had your place in the world and I had mine

Neither one of us could afford to realign

My friends were convinced it was a total loss

While we were together I gathered no moss

Without warning we fell in love with each other

Even though we both knew it could go no further

When you'd go away I knew I'd shake and shiver

But I would not throw myself into the river

About us parting I had no illusion

Yet when it happened I went into seclusion

I knew we both were strong enough to survive

And there was some hope while we both were still alive

I hope we'll meet in New York next Thanksgiving Day

I'll kiss you for all to see in Macy's display
