I saw you on the avenue
You looked so tired and a little blue
And you were in your Sunday best
With your father's tie upon your chest
Chorus:
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
Chorus:
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
Chorus:
Hey, you always stood me still
Hey, you always will
Hey, you always stood me still
Hey, you always will
Hey, you always will
