Reminiscing

When quiet night is all around me

And unforgotten memories surround me

Here by the fire, warm as the kiss I still desire

I'm reminiscing, and he's close to me once more

I feel his touch and hear his laughter

Just as I'm sure I shall forever after

I see his face, sweet as the thrill of his embrace

I'm reminiscing, and he's close to me once more

Though in these desperate days

We go our separate ways

Caught in the trick fate plays

On some who love

I hear love stories all have happy endings

And reminisce and dream of this

Here in this mood of tender feelings

I cry the tears I'm weary of concealing

And through the pain left by the one I loved in vain

I'm reminiscing, and he's close to me again
