I phoned her today, an accidental mistake And her name slipped out to some friend Forgotten old feelin's brand new today' 'Cause I'm right back where I've always been She's just an old love turned memory And now I seldom see her around She's just an old love turned memory But she still turns my world upside down I went to some places where I knew she'd be Just to prove love was over and done But the moment her eyes touched mine I knew My sorrow had only begun She's just an old love turned memory And now I seldom see her around She's just an old love turned memory But she still turns my world upside down
