Someone Mentioned Your Name

I thought I was through missing you

I thought I was through being blue

And then someone mentioned your name

That they saw you the other day

And they said you looked just the same

Then I remembered your arms and how they held me dear

But the memory only brought me that same old empty fear

Now I’m right back where I started that awful day we parted

And all because they mentioned your name

That not one memory lingered on

And then someone mentioned your name

The veil that hid my yesterday

But there it was with all the same old pain

For I remembered your kiss on the day we said goodbye

Was the last glowing ember of a flame that had to die

Now I’m right back where I started that awful day we parted

And all because they mentioned your name
