She told me I should come and meet her at the station

She told me that she would be leaving in the morning

I guess I really couldn't blame her much for leaving

I can't see anybody taking what she took (She gave me)

Three hugs, five kisses and a long last look

Mother was studying to be an English teacher

She told me that her father was an engineer

She didn't think that there was anyway they'd reach her here

She told me that they thought that she was off at college

She said they couldn't deal with an uncertainty

I tried to talk to them but they would not acknowledge me

She said we'll try again when both of us are older

'til then she said she's gonna take it by the book

(She gave me) three hugs, five kisses and a long last look

It's seven years now since we parted in December

I live in Boston and I've got a wife and family

At times I wonder if she ever still remembers me

Five years ago she sent a picture of her husband

She says she's sorry that it ended up that way

She said she'd try to find a way to make it up some day

I tried to tell her then that she don't owe me nothing

I've got a fortune in the memories I took

(along with) three hugs, five kisses and a long last look
