I Never Mention Your Name

Jack Leonard


I never mention your name, oh, no! 
I never dream of your eyes, 
I never go where we used to go 
To hear the echo of your sighs. 
I never mention your name, oh, no! 
I never ache for your kiss, 
I never turn all the lights down low 
To let the shadows reminisce. 

I never wait by the fire 
Expecting you to call by ten, 
I never feel the slightest desire 
To hold you when it's night again 

I never mention your name, oh, no! 
I never know you're away, 
Except for ev'ry minute 
Of ev'ry hour of ev'ry night and day
