Lyrics
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
Chorus
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 prefume 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
Performance
