Every Now and Then

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Every now and then, I get a feelin' Like I've left something behind me, but I don't know what it is yet Like I tied a piece of string 'round my finger And I hope this will remind me of the places I have been through [Refrain] When I'm down, down, down When I'm down, down, down [Verse 2] Every now and then, when I'm feelin' lonely I turn on my radio because I'm hopin' that you're out there It seems so long ago I would see your writin' On a postcard or a note and your stories would excite me [Refrain] When I was down, down, down When I'm down, down, down [Chorus] With every new step along the way, I hope that the wind blows you Back into my life, at the end of the road And if I'm only dreamin', then, won't you tear the curtains down And let the light back into this empty room? [Verse 3] Kissin' in your room, climbin' out the window Tryin' not to make a sound, but with my first love on my mind You see, we were never through, I never said I loved you Even when we said goodbye, I never thought it was the last time [Refrain] When we were down, down, down When I'm down, down, down [Chorus] With every new step along the way, I hope that the wind will blow you Right back into my life, at the end of the road Still, every now and then, I hear a voice singin' to me softly Deep inside my head and he sings till I fall asleep If I'm only dreamin', won't someone tear the curtains down? Tear the curtains down [Verse 4] Every now and then, I get a feelin' It's like I've left something behind, but I don't know what it is yet Every now and then, when you're feelin' lonesome Just sing this melody and remember where you're goin' [Refrain] When you're down, down, down When you're down, down, down When you're down, down, down When you're down, down, down When you're down, down, down, down When you're down, down, down, down, down [Outro] Oh, I said, oh, oh, oh
