I phoned her today, an accidental mistake
And her name slipped out to some friend
Forgotten old feelin's brand new today'
'Cause I'm right back where I've always been

She's just an old love turned memory
And now I seldom see her around
She's just an old love turned memory

But she still turns my world upside down
I went to some places where I knew she'd be
Just to prove love was over and done
But the moment her eyes touched mine I knew

My sorrow had only begun
She's just an old love turned memory
And now I seldom see her around
She's just an old love turned memory
But she still turns my world upside down
