Names

(album: Souvenirs - 1975)

Each name reminds me of a smile
A part of me I left behind
The times I said goodbye
The way love always dies
But then again, I loved so many times

Each name reminds me of a song
The nights that fell apart till dawn
When I had more to give
Than just a life to live
But then again, I've had
My share and even more

The sound of every first hello
The words I didn't know
I learned with time the rhymes
To every line
And when I think of all the names
The tender games I played
I wonder if they still remember mine

Each name reminds me of the past
The memories that didn't last
The one that counted more
Than all I had before
That went away one day
To let me love again
