[Intro]
[Verse]
I kissed Julie Brown on Abbey Way
It was a warm, close, sticky August day
Her brother came out to sort me out
I hit him and he ran away
Ah, that s no way for a love affair to end
[Chorus]
There may be country music in the parlour tonight
Or a little jazz whispering on your stereo
I saw her and she saw me
I know now love s a long, long way to go
[Verse]
Some days just for fun I take the train
I like to shelter underneath the bridge when it starts to rain
The whistle blows and the train it goes
And I m all alone again
Ah, that s no way for a love affair to end
[Chorus]
There may be country music in the parlour tonight
Or a little jazz whispering on your stereo
I saw her and she saw me
I know now love s a long, long way to go
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
I wish she d not been born on Christmas day
Such a busy time of year, so they say
I moved too slow beneath the mistletoe
But she jingled all the way
Ah, that s no way for a love affair to end
[Verse]
Cause a lover can make you happy with a diamond ring
The same lover can make you dance and make you sing
A lover can break your heart in two
Will you cut this for your ( ? ? ? )
And that s no way for a love affair to end
[Chorus]
There may be country music in the parlour tonight
Or a little jazz whispering on your stereo
I saw her and she saw me
I know now love s a long, long way to go
I know now love s a long, long way to go
I know now love s a long, long way to go
