Jonathan Richman
A Song of Remembrance for Old Boyfriends
This is a song of remembrance
For old boyfriends
But who now live with someone else
Well they're part of our lives
But now they've gone
But we still see them when the world seems beautiful
We men, we may find other guys
But this song's written for the ones
Who were never meant for us
But we wish them well
And we hope they find
Their true lovers on earth this time
Well one for your sweetheart from the third grade
Well he held your hand
But he moved away
And one for the boy who used to smile in the street
But then flew away
Into the mystery
We men, we may find other guys
But this song's written for the ones
Who were just never meant for us
But we wish them well
And we hope they find
Their true soulmates on earth this time
We men, we may find other guys
But this song is written for the ones
Who were just never meant for us
Oh, but we wish them well
And we hope they find
Their true lovers on earth this time
This is a song of remembrance
For old boyfriends
But who now live with someone else
Well they're part of our lives
But now they've gone
But we still see them when the world
Seems beautiful
