A Trick Of Memory She looked across the room, met my eye, moved on I did not trust myself, was it me she saw And then when I saw her later, she smiled at me I couldn't speak one word, she laughed, I froze That day, I remember well A friend and more than I could tell Waiting for the right time Fighting for the best chance Hoping she remembers A trick of memory So many got between us, I had to fight You talked to them with such a graceful ease Whatever made me, I'll never know, But I pushed on through Words seemed to tumble out in a rush Was it a trick of memory, I heard you say You would meet me later in some bar We could talk alone, just face to face So all I can tell you now, Is it started strong and will always grow |
