Names - Demis Roussos

Each name reminds me of a smile, 
A part of me I left behind, 
The times I said goodbye, 
The way love always dies, 
But then again, I loved so many times.

Each name reminds me of a song, 
The nights that fell apart till dawn, 
When I had more to give than just a life to live, 
But then again, I've had my share and even more.

The sound of every first hello, 
The words I didn't know, 
I learned with time the rhymes to every line.
And when I think of all the names, 
The tender games I played, 
I wonder if they still remember mine.

Each name reminds me of the past, 
The memories that didn't last, 
The one that counted more than all I had before, 
That went away one day to let me love again.
