Remembering You

By

W. L. Stephens

Tonight I went for a ride,

With my sister and her friend.

I enjoyed every minute,

Although my thoughts were blue,

For the soft summer breeze,

Blowin’ through the trees,

Made me remember you.

Through the darkness of the nite,

We rode through the park.

There were many happy couples,

Strollin’ in the dew.

And before I could control them,

The teardrops were a flowin’,

For I was remembering you.

The orchestra was wonderful,

The crowd was very gay.

I was trying to be happy,

But when I heard the tune,

“Somebody Else is Taking My Place,”

I had to turn away my face,

For I was remembering you.
