Verse 3

Twelve forty-five

Headed for the subway home

I took my time

'Cause I felt so all alone

Not far away

I heard a funny sound, took a look around, and I

Could see her face

Smile as she came, callin' out my name, so I

Know where to go

We'll take it slow

  Guess I'll C7Mcall it aAm7/D day
