Every now and then I remember you

The friend of mine I gladly gave my heart

I listen to the spaces in-between your words

And there you are

And I remember.

It’s not that I don’t see you every day

But after all this time we’re now the roles we’ve come to  play

It seems we’re always in each other’s way

I look at you and wonder who this stranger is I’m talking to.

But every now and then I remember you

The friend of mine I gladly gave my heart

I listen to the spaces in-between your words

And there you are

And I remember.

Today is just a normal day

No one’s going anywhere

There’s nothing special going on

We understand our compromises

Don’t we, though

Even so

Even so.

The fact is that I’ve disappointed you

And hopes you had of me are dreams that never have come true

And this affects your view of things I do

I know it’s so

Because it’s true

Of how I feel about you, too.

But could we be some other way

You and me but kinder as the partners that we really are

Can’t we just be thankful for this

Life we’ve shared

Life we share

Life we share.

Every now and then I remember you

The friend of mine I gladly gave my heart

I listen to the spaces in-between your words

And there you are

And I remember.

Every now and then I remember you

The friend of mine I gladly gave my heart

I listen to the spaces in-between your words

And there you are

And I remember

I remember you.
