The Tracks Of My Recall by M.A.Meddings

Oh! I didn’t quite remember just how beautiful you are
Your loveliness became a distant dream
As I walk along the tracks of my recall

That subtle hint of cleavage demurely there before
Necklined enchantress décolletage enthral
Oh! I didn’t quite remember just how beautiful you are

And the eyes I had forgotten were as bright any seen
Beguiling like the stars that shine or diamonds that had been
As I walk along the tracks of my recall

And then in muted wonder I watch you pass on through
A dream I had yet lost again oh god well here’s to you
Oh! I didn’t quite remember just how beautiful you are

But silently in wonderment I stop my heart again
From loving you and wanting you god only knows since when
As I walk along the tracks of my recall

For now I see the fool in me and I have ceased to dream
The love I had illusion the fire impossible scheme
Oh! I didn’t quite remember just how beautiful you are
As I walk along the tracks of my recall
