Sometimes

I remember walking round the schoolyard
Walking round when we were supposed to be playing
Games weren’t half as fun as what we’d begun
Though everyone would always call us names
(Long ago, oh so long ago...)
They said, “She’s in love with love and only love”
And that I’d still deny
(I) remember telling all the young girls
“There’s my guy”

And I know its just a memory
What’s that to me? And even less to him
Not much to cherish or regret
You just forget; I have, and yet
Sometimes I miss him

I remember dancing, going to the fair and
Going anywhere, anytime and anyhow,
“What do you think of...?” “What would you say to...”
What does it matter, he’s a different person now

And I know that he was young and pure,
My friends were sure I wouldn’t even kiss him
It was so simple what we had
He made me sad, but not too bad
Sometimes I miss him

I remember when he said he wouldn’t
Go for any more walks with me, or even call
I said goodbye, I might have cried
I wrote a farewell song, and that was all

And if I called through time and space,
He might not place my name and wouldn’t listen
Just sometimes when I’m on my own
I feel alone; I wouldn’t phone
But I still miss him
Sometimes I miss him.
