I Never Saw His Face
by Paul SchindlerI never saw his face
CHORUS I never saw his face, I never knew his name I never saw his face, I never knew his name V1 When she left I was her fiancé. When she came back, just in her way. She returned in a lover’s glow, She knew one thing I couldn’t know. She wouldn’t say his name. V2 Our love was a glass I thought half full, She thought it was half empty. I was ready to drink more, She found life with me a chore. He now shared her cup of love. CHORUS I never saw his face, I never knew his name I never saw his face, I never knew his name V3 She broke our engagement for a start. She kept my ring, returned my heart. To her our breakup was a game; She didn’t seem to see the pain. It just felt worse without a name. V4 She hit a bar with this friendly guy. Then staggered home at 3; I cried tears she didn’t see. Without a name, my replacement Shoved my heart into love’s basement. CHORUS I never saw his face, I never knew his name I never saw his face, I never knew his name V5 She slept with him the night I left, They laughed in the hallway first. Behind closed doors, They made love’s sounds. I’ll bet she yelled his name. V6 One night at the opera in Aisle B, They were sitting, intertwined. He looked handsome, fit and fine When I saw him from behind. Being kissed on a face I couldn’t see. CHORUS I never saw his face, I never knew his name I never saw his face, I never knew his name CODA Thank God I Never Saw His Face or knew his name V7 Version A Walked past her office, On the way to mine. There they were, In love’s embrace. Thank God I never saw his face.
