Flash Back

 

                   Flash Back.

I saw her coming in the door.

I didn’t want to be there anymore.

Someone said. “It’s a party. Just relax.”

But, the memories kept coming back.

Back to a time of wine and roses.

She made my song. I didn’t compose it.

She made my day. She made my life.

If things were different, she’d be my wife.

 

Flash back. Flash back. It keeps coming back.

Back to a time of fast cars and romance.

The time of my life when I was young.

We kissed on our very first dance.

Right from the start I knew she was the one.

Flash back. Flash back. We can’t go back.

 

After awhile, I began to relax.

Then I saw her making tracks.

She was headed right toward me.

No place to hide that I could see.

She grabbed my arm with a smile.

“Don’t go. Stay around for awhile.”

“I came tonight cause I heard you’d be here.”

“I have something I want to make clear.”

 

Flash back. Flash back. It keeps coming back.

Back to a time of fast cars and romance.

The time of my life when I was young.

We kissed on our first dance.

Right from the start I knew she was the one.

Flash back. Flash back. We can’t go back.

 

“I was young when we were a number.”

“I made a mistake & pulled us asunder.”

“I was afraid to make the commitment.”

“I guess I didn’t have the equipment.”

“It was the biggest mistake of my life.”

“I have suffered since & want to make it right.”

“Maybe we could still make a score.”

“If you would only take me back once more.”

 

Flash back Flash back. it keeps coming back.

Back to a time of fast cars and romance.

the time of my life when I was young.

We kissed on our first dance.

Right from the start I knew she was the one.

Flash back Flash back. We ‘can’ go back.
