Memories

                      

                                    MEMORIES

                         I know that you have forgotten me
                         And how our hearts were one
                         For a brief shining time
                         When we both were young

                         Teenage sweethearts long ago
                         Can you remember the innocent days?
                         I don't know how or why
                         We went our separate ways

                         I know you have forgotten
                         That summer day of bliss
                         When our lips came together
                         For our first tender kiss

                         I know you can't remember
                         Our first date and our talk
                         We rode to town with Mother
                         To get home we had to walk!

                         Late one stormy winter night
                         I listened to the icy wind
                         Alone in the ancient house
                         With lonely hours to spend

                         My thoughts went back to long ago
                         A lovely night in June
                         I remember how along your fence
                         The honeysuckle bloomed

                         You wore a fresh cotton dress
                         And I remember to this day
                         How your silken tresses
                         Smelled of new mown hay

                         Your eyes held many secrets
                         Which I longed to understand
                         I felt sweet reassurance
                         In the touch of your hand

                         I'm sure you've forgotten
                         All these little things
                         But they're all I have to cling to
                         Until we meet again

                         I know you have forgotten me
                         As most young lovers do
                         But you must know after all these years
                         I've never forgotten you.
