about

The original version. A literal retelling of a pretty strange 'affair'. Sue Norris though, God she was gorgeous!

lyrics

Susan.

Standing in the rain with an old friend near me
You strolled by and your eyes looked through me
Well I thought, WOW, as I walked behind you
23 years it’s took to find you

So I was faced with a big dilemma
Friends of mine said “just go tell her”
But I’m so shy it could not be easy
My aching heart did the thinking for me

Face to face I couldn’t face you
So I sat alone and thought the thing through
Poured my thoughts into a letter
Thinking things would soon get better

Oh, Susan I just cannot live without you
I really thought your heart was won
Don’t walk away just when I need you
Let’s turn back the clocks and carry on

By your reply, I'd thought the thing through
Realised I just had to meet you
Never seen such beauty in a woman in a long time
Eye to eye you just had to be mine

Oh, Susan I just cannot live without you
I really thought your heart was won
Don’t walk away, just when I need you
Let’s turn back the clocks and carry on

Sitting in that pub my heart was burning
As I expressed my subtle yearning
When you said "yes" I nearly did die
That Sunday night I thought I could fly

Well I missed Monday coz I was dreaming
I did not know that you were scheming
how to leave me and not to hurt me
Suggesting friendship sounded easy
A final kiss and a tear, we parted
Long before our love had started

Now it seems, I'm back to bating
Believe me, girl, I won't stop waiting
And when you fall I hope I'll catch you
For no-one else will ever match you

Susan, I just cannot live without you
I really thought your heart was won
Don’t leave me now, just when I need you
Let’s turn back the clocks and carry on

Susan, I just cannot live without you
I really thought the race was won
Please don’t walk away just when I need you
Let’s turn back the clocks and carry on.

I'm Chris A, from Manchester. I write, and play a few things (just about).
