I Watched Two People Fascinating Aida

I wore my satin dress tonight, my silver high-heeled shoes
I dabbed my skin with sweet perfume, the one you helped me choose
I did my hair the way you like, up in a simple twist
You touched my face to take away an eyelash that I missed
You said "Let's not go out tonight, let's not go into town"
And as you kissed my neck, I said "We can't let people down"
And now the evening's over, I don't know what to do
I watched two people fall in love, and one of them... was you

And now we're lying only inches apart
Though it might be twenty miles
And it's a quiet kind of dying inside
As I see your radiant smiles
The air is loaded with things we cannot say
I try to hold you, but you sigh and turn away
I tell myself we're not estranged
But in one evening, everything's changed

You held my hand when we walked in, each detail I recall
I moved around the party making small-talk, very small
You were soon in conversation with a girl I didn't know
She reminded me of someone else: me, ten years ago
I found you still there two hours later, long since time to leave
I wonder, did you know I saw her hand upon your sleeve?
Then you drove home – or was it me? The journey is a blur
I watched two people fall in love, and one of them... was her
