Every now and then
There's a longing in my heart, Every now and then Ever since we've been apart. You don't know how much I miss you, How I long to kiss you Every now and then. But every now and then, I keep wondering how you are And asking everyone, "Are you happy where you are?" What's the good of my denying? I find myself a'crying Every now and then. But every now and then I kiss your photograph, The one you autographed, "I love you dearly." And time and time again I read each tender note On which your fingers wrote, "I love you sincerely." Every now and then In my lonely reverie While I think of you, Do you ever think of me? Is the spark of love still burning? Do you long for my returning Every now and then? Every now and then In my lonely reverie While I think of you, Do you ever think of me? Is the spark of love still burning? Do you long for my returning Every now and then? Every now and then. |

Imagination,
Imagination is funny. It makes a cloudy day sunny. Makes a bee think of honey Just as I think of you. Imagination is crazy. Your whole perspective gets hazy. Starts you asking a daisy What to do, what to do. Have you ever felt a gentle touch And then a kiss And then find it's only your imagination again? Oh well, Imagination is so silly. You go around willy nilly. For example, I go around wanting you. And yet I can't imagine that you want me too. |

My old flame,
I can't even think of his name, But it's funny now and then How my thoughts go flashing back again To my old flame. My old flame, My new lovers all seem so tame. For I haven't met a gent so magnificent of elegant As my old flame. I've met so many who had facinating ways, A facinating gaze in their eye. Some who took me up to the sky, But their attempts at love were only immitations of My old flame, I can't even think of his name. But I'll never be the same Until I discover what became Of my old flame. No I'll never be the same Until I discover what became Of my old flame. |
