It was a long time since I  heard from her
since she said hello since I held her hand
since we whispered goodbye
since we went different ways

It was good to hear her voice again
imagine she  had had a good life
imagine her here
imagine holding her hand

It was different though distance and time had changed things
I guess imagining is flawed
I guess time takes a toll
I guess you can't go back

But I told her I did love her then
and it sure was good hearing from her again
and it sure was nice of her to call
and it sure might be good if we kept in touch

knowing all the while
it was for the better
it was not meant to be
but when my heart

got on the phone
it wanted to remember
