I thought about you today, the first in a very long time
A song sparked the memory and my heartbeat did a rapid climb
It reminded me of fun filled days and endless nights
When we used to travel the globe and saw so many sights

Then gradually we slipped apart, for why I do not know
My mind went back today to……. those days so long ago
We started out as an “item” and then with time, were madly in love
I knew right then that you were sent to me from heaven above

An angel you were, or so I thought, but then it started
The whirlwind love we once had became waters uncharted
From every day and every night we went to often, then seldom
Then finally I heard the words I knew were coming, you wanted your freedom

That’s when it started, my life of drinking and trying to forget
Blurry days, restless nights, full of booze and cigarette after cigarette
For months and months I cruised the bars, the clubs and places we enjoyed
I constantly asked myself each place I went, how our love could be destroyed

Your picture in my hand and getting wet from tears
I cannot believe this song I hear, has brought back the many years
My heart still aches from the thoughts of you and the love that we once shared
I thought that you my precious love, to no one could be compared

So I sit here now alone this night, with my rum and coke with lime
And think about you so much, the first in a very long time
