She was smiling in the sun
At a sidestreet café
She had a love in her eyes
And an ease in her way
Like her soul was lit up
Her heart rung like a bell
I'll never know her name
But I remember her well
People you're passing on the street
They're the friends you may never meet
And everybody's paid the cost
Of a little sweet loss
In a downstairs honky tonk
A kindly old gentleman
Sitting at a table alone
A picture of a dog in his hand
He wiped away a tear
And I'll never know just why
What thought going through his head
Was enough to make him cry
People you're passing on the street
They're the friends you may never meet
And everybody's paid the cost
Of a little sweet loss
There's something going on forever in everything around
Connecting everyone, every sight and sound
I can see through a glass darkly but someday face to face
What do I hope to find by the end of this race
Looking out from a black and white picture
That itself is fifty years old
Sitting at a desk in St. Louis
Talking on the radio
A girl of twenty-five
She hopes to realize her dreams
She and I are not so different
There's just some time and space between
People you're passing on the street
They're the friends you may never meet
And everybody's paid the cost
Of a little sweet loss
It's a little sweet loss
