## Lyrics
[verse]
I was walking down the avenue,
Just minding my own way,
Then I saw you cross the corner,
And the whole world turned to gray.
I thought that I was over it,
I thought my heart was strong,
But one look at your face there
Told me I was wrong.

[chorus]
And I broke down, oh I broke down,
Right there upon the street,
All the walls I built around me
Crumbled at my feet,
I was crying, I was crying,
Like the day you said goodbye,
I never knew a memory
Could make a grown man cry.

[verse]
You smiled the way you always smiled,
Like nothing ever changed,
You didn't know the storm inside me,
Didn't know I'd rearranged
My whole life just to forget you,
Every picture, every name,
But a single glance undid it,
Set my heart aflame.

[chorus]
And I broke down, oh I broke down,
Right there upon the street,
All the walls I built around me
Crumbled at my feet,
I was crying, I was crying,
Like the day you said goodbye,
I never knew a memory
Could make a grown man cry.

[bridge]
Maybe it's just proof that some love
Never really fades away,
It just waits behind a corner
For an ordinary day.

[chorus]
And I broke down, oh I broke down,
Right there upon the street,
All the walls I built around me
Crumbled at my feet,
I was crying, I was crying,
Like the day you said goodbye,
I never knew a memory
Could make a grown man cry.
