I saw you on the avenue
You looked so tired and a little blue
And you were in your Sunday best
With our father's tie upon your chest
Hey, you always stood me still
Hey, you always will
In the corridor of one hotel
We once crossed paths I recall it well
Voices in an empty hall
Slamming doors to hearts that fall
Hey, you always stood me still
Hey, you always will
Love has been my passer by
I stood too still to catch your eye
But out there on the avenue
In your father's tie I'll remember you
Hey, you always stood me still
Hey, you always will
Hey, you always stood me still
Hey, you always will
Hey, you always will
