Testo Melody

Testo Melody

I saw a photograph of you and me

Standing together by the sea

Light on the water so beautiful in the dawn

I am looking into your eyes
Before the secrets, before the lies,

Your lips are smiling as though you meant to go on.



I don't remember the words

That you said to me

I don't remember the words

But the melody

Haunts me



I found a rose that you gave to me

Pressed in a book of your poetry

Deathless prose like the love I thought that we shared

You left my life with no backward look

I crushed the rose and I burned the book

I cursed the day that I ever thought you could care



I don't remember the words

That you said to me

I don't remember the words

But the melody

Haunts me



Melody, Melody, Melody

Melody, Melody, Melody



There's not a day I don't think of you

There's not a think that I know to do

To keep your memory from invading my heart

And though your flowers and books are gone

The melody of you lingers on

You are a part of my song so what can I do



I don't remember the words

That you said to me

I don't remember the words

But the melody

Haunts me



Melody, Melody, Melody

Melody, Melody, Melody
