AFTER WE’VE GONE OUR SEPARATE WAYS

by Richard E. Noble

When we’ve gone our separate ways, and the years are all yesterdays
Will you see a pair of loving eyes and then remember mine?
When we’ve gone our separate ways, and the tomorrows that were once ours are all just lost todays,
Will you awake from a warm dream of love, then sit alone in the
darkness and remember me in your arms?

When we’ve gone our separate ways, and the years are all yesterdays
And the tomorrows that once were ours are all lost todays
Will you remember that I really did love you, that you were all my dreams come true.
Will you think kind thoughts and spare me a smile or two?
Will you love me for just a second because I will always be in love
with you,
Even after we’ve gone our separate ways.

I’ll remember the feel of your lips, and the smell of your hair.
I’ll remember the tone of your voice when you still loved me and you still cared.
But for now I want us to go our separate ways before the coolness in your eyes kills me, And turns all my loving sighs into wishful good-byes.

But when we’ve gone our separate ways if you see me walking,
Don’t cross the street or drop your hat over your eyes and pretend that we never met.
Let’s be nice, and remember that a million years ago we looked into each others eyes and breathed each other’s sighs.

So when we’ve gone our separate ways and all our memories are yesterdays,
Let’s remember the plans that we once made.
Let’s remember the loving moments in the cool green shade.

When we’ve gone our separate ways and all our years are yesterdays,
And the tomorrows that once were ours are all lost todays,
Remember that I really did love you.
You were all my dreams come true
Think kind thoughts …
spare me a smile or two …
Love me for just a second …
Because I will always be in love with you,

Even after we’ve gone our separate ways.
