Divertiti
(Anderson)

Do you remember all those hours shirking France?
You came late, I would wait, watch the door for your glance
How I adored those times
And hoped you'd know from all the things I showed but didn't say

I used to wonder at our difference in style
And draw you faces intended to draw out a smile
And how I love your smile
That hour with you could make me happy through the longest day
Young and shy and so alive
What friends we were then, Sara Kay

I still remember your apartment at noon
Stop to chat, have some tea, and then leave much too soon
How I adored those times
And tried to read your feelings (like they need deciphering)
I was so glad when you would answer the door
He was gone for the day, we could talk like before
And then a walk outside
Cicada hum that filled a sky I'd never seen so wide
Young and shy and so alive
What friends we were then, Sara Kay

I trust your life is good wherever you are
All the same, it's a shame it's removed you so far
Because I think of you
Appreciate those times as if they were completely new
Young and shy and so alive
What friends we were then, Sara Kay
