I met up with someone
I used to know years ago
Our hearts started pounding
When she smiled and kissed me hello
The day seemed much brighter
When she said that she was glad that we met
Of all the young ladies this one I could never forget

Chorus:


An old love I lost when we drifted apart
An old love I kept locked away in my heart
An old love awaken the yearning in me
An old love that's part of an old memory

We talked about people we knew in years gone by
We talked about good times
And the times I made her cry
We talked about places we've been
And the dreams that we had
We called back the past in our lives and it made us feel sad

I was ambitious and all that she wanted was me
Wanted my children
I told her I wanted to be free
She got what she wanted
A man and three kids of her own
I still have my freedom but I wonder why I'm so alone.
