Don't play that song if you please,

It brings back too many memories

Of a time that seems so long ago

Of places where we used to go.

We used to dance so close to that song

Every time we heard it played.

But now all those days are gone

And just the memories have stayed.

Yet it seems like yesterday

We were laughing-crying-living

Now life's different in so many ways

So empty and unforgiving.

That song brings it all to mind,

Of the way it was back then.

So, if you would be so kind,

Don't play that song again.
