Story Behind The Song

Today I thought I saw you, out of the corner of my eye - As the wind blew back your hair, I'd swear you smiled as you walked by - Then you must have turned a corner, and you never heard me call... or you did... or perhaps, you were never there at all -

Song Description

I won't forget the things you told me then, back when we thought we'd never be... Just a memory - of all the love we said would always be... The very thing we knew would see us through, I guess was always meant to be... Just a memory -

Lyrics

JUST A MEMORY
(McCarty)

Today I thought I saw you, out of the corner of my eye -
As the wind blew back your hair, I'd swear you smiled as you walked by -
Then you must have turned a corner, and you never heard me call...
or you did... or perhaps, you were never there at all -
No telephone, just time alone, to think about you and me -
When you're not here and nothing's clear about the way we used to be...

(Chorus)
There's just a memory, of how you looked, when you were loving me,
I won't forget the things you told me then, back when we thought we'd never be...
Just a memory -
of all the love we said would always be...
The very thing we knew would see us through,
I guess was always meant to be...
Just a memory -

Someday I know I'll see you, and I won't have to cry -
But until I find the strength, to smile as you walk by...
I'll just be alone, though love is gone... I'll dream about you and me -
Nothing's here and nothing's clear, about the way things used to be -

(Chorus)
It's just a memory, of how you looked when you were loving me.
I won't forget the things you told me then, back when we thought we'd never be...
Just a memory -

(Chorus)
It's just a memory, of how you looked when you were loving me.
I won't forget the things you told me then, back when we thought we'd never be...
Just a memory -
of all the love we said would always be...
The very thing we knew would see us through,
I guess was really meant to be...
Just a memory ---
It's just a memory ---
We're just a memory -
