Lyrics

At that greasy Denny’s right outside the city, Mary’s saying, “It’s not you, it’s me.”
I’m wondering if maybe there is some other guy. I’m still wrapping my head ‘round the reason why.
She was the once-in-a-lifetime love I just couldn’t deny, and I watched Mary wave goodbye.
Me and Mary would go to the carnival by the ocean side.
We’d play a few games, I’d take her on a ride.
I wasn’t sure if I’d ever deliver ecstasy, but I always hoped that Mary’d settle for me.
She was the once-in-a-lifetime love I just couldn’t deny, and I watched Mary wave goodbye.
Tony came from Philly with a smile and a snake tattoo and a t-top special ordered in midnight blue.
Tony and his snake took Mary and went on a cruise round to the Breakers down on Ocean Avenue.
She was the once-in-a-lifetime love I just couldn’t deny, and I watched Mary wave goodbye.
They say true love will never fail. They say say true love will last.
They say true love can be a fairy tale, but my life’s love is in the past.
Down at the inlet, where the fishermen dream, watch the couples hold hands.
Hear the seagulls scream. Add up all those things that I regret.
Mary, what would be if we’d never met?
She was the once-in-a-lifetime love I just couldn’t deny, and I watched Mary wave goodbye.
And I watched Mary wave goodbye.
