-->''That old scene is always coming to me\\
I see you standing with your husband and your child\\
And you're a picture of strength and grace and beauty\\

I never had a knack for talking anyway\\
You're not the kind for bending over backwards\\
So I smiled and turned my shopping cart around and walked away''
