You Keep Coming Back Like a Song
Irving Berlin
Can't run away from you, dear
I've tried so hard but I fear
You'll always follow me near and far
Just when I think that I'm set
Just when I've learned to forget
I close my eyes, dear, and there you are
You keep coming back like a song
A song that keeps saying, remember
The sweet used-to-be
That was once you and me
Keeps coming back like an old melody
The perfume of roses in may
Returns to my room in december
From out of the past where forgotten things belong
You keep coming back like a song
