A folk love song, written in the 1980s, about meeting old lovers and comrades at street protests.
(chorus)
On the city street
Old lovers meet
On the city street
Old lovers weep.
(verses)
When I bump into you on the city street
I think of all that love we shared
And I feel like a big cry after we say "good-bye"
Oh, it's hard to break up with a friend. (chorus)
When I hear our song on the radio
I think of those days of young love
And tears come to my eyes when I recall the sad goodbyes
Yes, it's hard to lose the heart pain when you've hugged. (chorus)
When your eyes meet mine, I almost want to hide
Cause your face reminds me of dreams unfulfilled
Of awakening in the dawn, of singing out love songs
Of the emptiness I felt when you were gone. (chorus)
