You say I'm hopelessly romantic I'd say romantically hopeless You don't know me well Cause we just met at the station A shudder of vague frustration Maybe that was so There is something beautiful In things that cannot last There is something beautiful In still believing that they do She went off to Paris And I went back to my hometown I couldn't be by your side I shouldn't have been by anyone's side Doo doo doo Doo doo doo Doo do You say I'm terribly kind So we'll say kind of terrible You all know me well We spent a few days walking And a few minutes talking Maybe that was so There is something beautiful In not knowing what could have been There is something beautiful In not letting the thought go She went off to Paris And I went back to my hometown I couldn't be by your side I shouldn't have been by anyone's side Doo doo doo Doo doo doo Doo do Ideals Everything was right from the start Nothing could tear us apart Ideals Everything was right from the start There was nothing to tear us apart Ideals (Everything was right from the start There was nothing to tear us apart)
