I saw a photograph of you and me
standing together by the sea
light on the water so beautiful in the dawn
i am looking into your eyes
before the secrets, before the lies,
your lips are smiling as though you meant to go on.
I don't remember the words
that you said to me
i don't remember the words
but the melody
haunts me
I found a rose that you gave to me
pressed in a book of your poetry
deathless prose like the love i thought that we shared
you left my life with no backward look
i crushed the rose and i burned the book
i cursed the day that i ever thought you could care
I don't remember the words
that you said to me
i don't remember the words
but the melody
haunts me
Melody, melody, melody
melody, melody, melody
There's not a day i don't think of you
there's not a think that i know to do
to keep your memory from invading my heart
and though your flowers and books are gone
the melody of you lingers on
you are a part of my song so what can i do
I don't remember the words
that you said to me
i don't remember the words
but the melody
haunts me
Melody, melody, melody
melody, melody, melody
