I might write a love song

if I could remember the words

I might write a love song

if you played guitar for me:

but I hear you forgot

who we used to be

when we were once lovers.

 

I might write a love song

if you kissed me again

the image is broken

but lodged in my brain

and the miracle  ”time”

has removed the stain

of the day you left me.

 

Well I might write a love song

now how would it go?

Your hair has turned grey

but your eyes are the same

and it’s only a day since we

walked in the rain, that love song night

when I was eighteen

 

the first time I wrote you a love song.
