I’d forgotten those nights I held you so tight, Your shy little smile in the low porch light. Forgot how your hair fell soft on my chest— Guess time hides the things a man once loved best. But seein’ you yesterday cut me clean through, I said your name softly… but you asked, “Who are you?” We both built new lives, guess that’s how it goes— But you lookin’ past me hit harder than you know. I’ll always remember you not rememberin’ me. Some hurts come callin’ when they’ve no right to be. Thought the years dulled the edges, thought I’d let it all go— But the past ain’t past when the heart tells you so. And in my mind’s eye, darlin’, all I can see Is you standin’ there… not rememberin’ me. Watched you cross that room with a new love in tow, A good kind of man, far as a stranger can know. And I wondered right then if our time meant a thing— Or if I’m just a ghost from a long-gone spring. Maybe you healed quicker… maybe you healed right, While I kept our memories tucked out of sight. Didn’t know they were waitin’ to ambush my heart— Guess some old loves die slow… and some never start. I’ll always remember you not rememberin’ me. Some hurts come callin’ when they’ve no right to be. Thought the years dulled the edges, thought I’d let it all go— But the past ain’t past when the heart tells you so. And in my mind’s eye, darlin’, all I can see Is you standin’ there… not rememberin’ me. Yeah… I’ll always remember You not rememberin’ me.
