Don't know if you remember me
A clueless fool swept out to sea
I said that I'd always be true
And dammit, I still remember you
Don't know if you remember when
You and I were only ten
We sat together side by side
Your blue blue eyes open wide
Chorus:
Don't know if you ever reminisce
'bout times long gone that I still miss
We'd meet outside old Maggie's gate
On winter nights after eight
And wander round that lonely bend
From where fond memories extend
All the way from seventy one
Through all the things we've never done
Don't know if you can still recall
Us dancing in the Old Town Hall
Or walking home with Babs and Fee
And your father's footsteps after three
Chorus:
That midsummer weekend night
The moon was full and blazing bright
They said it meant our love was true
So tell me how it all fell through
Two lives driven out of step
I walk the line but can't forget
My fingers through your gipsy hair
Still clutching at the love we used to share
And if our paths should ever cross
I won't recall the pain of loss
I hope you'll say that you were glad
You made the choices that you have
Chorus:
And if all this just leaves you cold
The truth is that I'm getting old
The old are haunted by the past
It's just a phase and it won't last
Don't know if you still know my name
Don't know if you still feel the same
I said that I'd always be true
And dammit I still remember you
.. . . . .I still remember you
