A splendid recollection lingers on
Gorgeous as you sang in your summer dress
You glanced my way with your cheeky smile
And teased my mind, well I might just stay a while
There are signs I thought I could read
And I can't see where it's leading
Now it's your turn to speak
Won't you tell me what's behind
Those doe-eyes?
I am trying to understand
I somehow thought that you were mine
'Til you cast your flutter at ev'ry other man
There's a bridge that joins your road to mine
There were times we'd meet there and talk all night
You, me, lamp light and sincerity
But in the dawn, stepping stones are plain to see
There are signs I thought I could read
And I can't see where it's leading
Now it's your turn to speak
Won't you tell me what's behind
Those doe-eyes?
I am trying to understand
I somehow thought that you were mine
'Til you cast your flutter at ev'ry other man
