I Thought I Was Through Missing You

I Thought I Was Through Being Blue

And Then Someone Mentioned Your Name

Some Careless Friend Just Chanced To Say

That They Saw You The Other Day

And They Said You Looked Just The Same



Then I Remembered Your Arms

And How They Held Me Dear

But The Memory Only Brought Me

That Same Old Empty Fear

Now I'm Right Back Where I Started

That Awful Day We Parted

And All Because They Mentioned Your Name



I Told Myself The Hurt Was Gone

That Not One Memory Lingered On

And Then Someone Mentioned Your Name

They Didn't Mean To Tear Away

The Veil That Hid My Yesterday

But There It Was With All The Same Old Pain



For I Remembered Your Kiss

On The Day We Said Goodbye

Was The Last Glowing Ember

Of A Flame That Had To Die

Now I'm Right Back Where I Started

That Awful Day We Parted

And All Because They Mentioned Your Name
