I Mustn't Pass This Way Again

(album: Just Plain Lonely - 1972)

Today I'll watch the time come in taste the salt and sea and wind
And search for crumble castles in the sand
Then I'll go back inside my mind think about you one more time
Then I mustn't pass this way again

I'll see the road we traveled on when you were right and I was wrong
But pride would never let me say it when
For a moment I still feel again burning lips and clinging hands
No, I mustn't pass this way again

For remembering's the hardest part of loving
And a memory won't help her understand
How a fool could turn away from all the giving
No, I mustn't ever pass this way again
Today I'll think about the rain how the tiny raindrops came

And nestled there like temples on your skin
You just tossed them off and smiled at me said they came from God so let it be
And very soon the sun would shine again
But today the sun has gone away love is there in yesterday

But the past can't hold the future in its pen
I'll just have to let it be let it fade into a memory
And never ever pass this way again
For remembering's the hardest part of loving...
No, I mustn't ever pass this way again
