Do You Remember Me?

Return to Lyrics -::- Print Friendly Version

Sometimes... I'm a ghost.

I was single for much longer than I ever wanted to be. In fact, I never did want to be. In search of a wife, I dated many lovely women (just dated, not slept with!).

This song recalls those times when I see, or hear about, women who'd rejected me and then married very poorly. Our eyes meet, and I can see the regret - but can't do anything to help them, not now.

You see, my life as a happily married man is well on the way.

And, at other times, I never see them anymore - and they can't know how badly I feel for them - and I can't tell them that I do, it wouldn't be appropriate. But, I know they think of me sometimes, perhaps ruefully. My memory follows close behind them, haunting them like a ghost. But, when they turn to see me...

I'm not there.
