The Beautiful Girls

Oh sometimes I go walking 

Through fields where we walked

Long ago in the sweet used to be

And the flowers still grow

But they don't smell as sweet

As they did when you picked them for me



And when I think of you

And the love we once knew

How I wish we could go back in time

Do you ever think back on old memories like that

Or do I ever cross your mind



Do you ever wake up lonely

In the middle of the night

Because you miss me

Do you darling

Oh and do your memories ever take you

Back into another place and time

And do you ever miss the feelings

And the love we shared when you were with me

Tell me darling

Or do I ever cross your mind



Oh how often I wish

That again I could kiss

Your sweet lips like I did long ago

And how often I long

For those two loving arms

That once held me so gentle and close



And when I think of you

And the love we once knew

How I wish we could go back in time

Do you ever recall these old memories at all

Or do I ever cross your mind

Do I ever cross your mind

Tell me darling

Do I ever cross your mind
