Yesterday I felt a rush of memories from the past Things I had not thought of for some time How we used to climb the hills and make love in the gra** How you loved to hear me call you mine And I've called to see how you are Now that we've grown so far And I'm wondering if you think about these things too And if I'm just a shadow now I don't mean to intrude But it's the right of a lover To share these things with you Heard you say you're happy now there's new things on your mind Lord knows I don't want to spoil your mood But if you cast your eyes around for one last look behind You'll see the ghost of one who loved you true Where kisses have lived and died Like comets across your sky A flash of light who's only pa**ing through And if I'm getting too intense I don't mean to intrude But it's the right of a lover To say these things to you I remember when I saw you last, a year ago July You climbed that hilltop one more time with me We watched the angel's shadows pa** across the summer sky Silently they drifted out to sea And we say we have no regrets But I never could forget The tear I thought I felt upon your face I loved you then and I love you now It may be wrong to say But it's the right of a lover Or at least it's a lover's way It's the right of a lover Or at least it's a lover's way
