														   As large as life she stood
there

 Kissed my cheek and called my old nickname

 And though several years had passed

 Both of us still looked quite the same

 I said hi relaxed a bit

 Then asked her how she'd been all these years

 She told me she was feeling fine

 Came to see a friend who lived up here

 

 Told me she had finished school

 And then went on to college for a year

 I asked if she had married

 Slowly down her cheek there came a tear

 She said just an itchy eye

 It must be the weather way up here

 Told her I can't stand the cold

 It freezes me and I can't feel my ears

 

 We talked a bit about Mobile

 And thought about how it has never changed

 I told her I was a comin' home

 To spend some time and hoped it wouldn't rain

 She asked if she could see me then

 And we could spend some time now and then

 Because I lived so far away

 Was still no chance why we could not be
friends

 

 I drove her to the waiting plane

 Watched that big jet streaking through the
sky

 Thought about the sad young girl

 And the time that I just saw her cry

 That flame must still be burning bright

 I think I'll catch a later flight today

 It's time for me to go on home

 And spend a day or two down by the bay
