Every once in a while I think about you

And your strawberry hair

And little things that we used to do

I even called your old number

But it wasn't the same

Some stranger's voice on the answering machine

But the feelings remain after all this time

And those old memories won't fade

From the back of my mind

When I hear an old song

And I'm with you again

In that one room apartment

We had time and we had plans

But plans fall through

And dreams run dry

Oh, they just slowly disappear

Like an old teardrop from your eye

But the feelings remain after all this time

And those old memories won't fade

From the back of my mind

I don't know if I love you

Only think of you once in a while

But the feelings remain after all this time

And those memories won't fade

From the back of my mind

Every once in a while I can see you cry

And I'm saying I'm not ready and I can't say why

I hear you got married and had a beautiful child

And I only think about you once in a while
