Lyric

You left your jacket on my chair

Like you were planning to come back

I keep it folded by the stairs

A little proof of what we had

We took the long way past the market

Bought one peach and split it clean

You drew a smiley on the carton

I saved the picture in my screen

Now every weekend feels familiar

Even with you nowhere near

I hear your laugh inside the kitchen

Then remember you’re not here

But I don’t want to lose the feeling

Even if I lose the time

You were the best part of the season

Still the sweetest part of mine

Come back, come back, just for a minute

Stay close, stay close, let me live in it

Your name, your name, still on my lips

Come back, come back, just for a minute

The corner shop changed all its colors

Moved the flowers by the door

I almost told the usual story

Then I saw you there no more

I wear the blue shirt that you liked best

Though the collar’s getting thin

Some things fade around the edges

Some things keep their shape within

And I don’t want to lose the feeling

Even if I lose the time

You were the best part of the season

Still the sweetest part of mine

Come back, come back, just for a minute

Stay close, stay close, let me live in it

Your name, your name, still on my lips

Come back, come back, just for a minute

If we meet beneath the awning

I’ll say everything is fine

You can ask me how I’m doing

I’ll say, better, one more time

Come back, come back

Just for a minute

Stay close, stay close

Let me live in it

Come back, come back, just for a minute

Stay close, stay close, let me live in it

Your name, your name, still on my lips

Come back, come back, just for a minute

Your jacket’s still there by the stairs

I leave it folded like a prayer
