Reminiscing
Lyric: Edgar Leslie
Music: Harry Warren
Year: 1930
Original publisher: Remick Music Corp.
Verse 1:
Your love resembled the roses,
You left sweet mem'ries behind;
My book of dreams never closes,
Come what will,
You are still
On my mind;
Chorus:
Reminiscing, I feel you near,
Once more you're my love of yesteryear.
Reminiscing, we kiss and then,
I see you leave me again;
I long to hear the bluebird's love song at my door,
Instead, I hear the raven calling, "Nevermore!"
Smiles are missing and tears peep through,
While reminiscing of you.
Verse 2:
Life was a pathway of flowers,
Now with each step, there's a thorn;
Still, I recount love's young hours,
Through their haze,
Happy days
Are reborn;
[Chorus]
