(lyrics)
Girl with the scarf
I knew you from the start
For your eyes echoed mine in their search.
Talking with you
Was the least I could do
For I longed for the touch of your lips.

Your gentle voice I noticed
When we took care of the kids
And your beauty quickly appeared in my dreams.
I saw you at a party
And your hugging aroused me
And together we soon lived our fantasies.

Girl with the scarf
Oh, my soul you did touch
So all life without you seemed empty.
At the museum
I could think just of thee
And of wanting to just feel you near.

But I let shifting interests
Blind me to what we did have
And soon you felt that we should split apart.
And a few years later when we met
And again did hug and kiss
Our different roads now filled me with regret.

Yes, girl with the scarf
I knew you from the start
For your eyes echoed mine in their search.
Talking with you
Was the least I could do
For I longed for the touch of your lips.
