Just Think of me This Time
You saw that single, wilting rose,
And reached to pluck it.
I stopped your groping hand,
And murmured no, it was too beautiful.
I saw the moon and those stars,
Blended together in the clear, black sky.
You pointed at them,
And dubbed them ‘our stars and moon’.
We rocked out to our favorite song,
Singing into home-made mics.
We heard them talk about us,
And we just laughed with them.
Sometimes I see that lonely rose,
But I know I can’t pluck it.
Sometimes I hear that favorite song on the radio,
And I have to sing along.
CHORUS:
Just think of me this time,
When you see the lonely rose.
Just think of me now,
When see ‘our’ stars and moon.
Don’t hesitate to think of us,
Because you know I’m thinkin’ of you too.
Just think of me,
When you hear our favorite song.
Just think of me,
When you hear them talk of before,
When I still though of you,
And you of me.
We’ve walked past the angry crowds,
And held our heads up high.
We’ve walked through the enemy,
And smiled in spite of it all.
We walked through a friendly crowd,
Holding our heads high, but not as high as then.
We shook hands with new friends,
Smiling, but not as widely as before.
Now we walk past each other,
Our heads bowed low.
Now we walk through each other’s yards,
Our smiles and grins turned sober.
But when you walk by my house,
Do you turn around, hoping to see me with open arms,
As often as I do?
CHORUS
I see you in that rose,
Staring sweetly and forlornly up at me.
I see you in ‘our’ stars,
Twinkling at me up above.
I hear you sing along,
Whenever I turn on that song.
I hear you on their lips,
Whenever they talk in the hall.
Do you see me there too,
Bringing back memories to make the coldest heart thaw?
Do you hear my voice too,
Laughing gayly by your side?
Do you still think of me,
As the friend that I still am?
CHORUS 2x
