Every Now
And Then
25 years from now, long after Richard had chosen his new Lupa.
The
parts in bold are song lyrics.
I walked down to the park last night
Warm breeze stirring up a soft moonlight
And my mind started drifting to way back when
Yes I do think about you every now and then
Richard stared at the picture in his hand, dug out of an old box
long
locked in his attic. He stared at the sun drenched woman, so bold
and
sure of herself.
The other day I saw a car like you used to drive
I got a funny feeling down deep inside
And for the briefest moment I felt a smile begin
Yes I do think about you every now and then
The radio drowned on in the background as his mind drifted to a
time
long ago, a time long forgotten.
I love my life and I'd never trade
Between what you and me had and the life I've made
She's here and she's real, but you were too
And every once in a while I think about you
Anita stared at Richard, confused and hurt by what he was saying.
Meet his new Lupa...huh? She glanced at the young woman...no a
child
really, she was barley legal and felt her heart twist at the love
in
the girl's eyes when she looked up at Richard.
Richard kissed Anita softly and walked away, arm in arm with Jen.
I heard a song on the radio just yesterday
The same one you always asked me to play
And when the song was over
I wished they'd played it again
Yes I do think about you every now and then
Richard glanced down at the letter next to the box, a Mrs. Jean-
Claude, wished his presence at her husband's funeral. Inside was
a
small note, 'Do you ever think about me...as much as I think
about
you?'
I've been layin' here all night listenin' to the rain
Talkin' to my heart and trying to explain
Why sometimes I catch myself
Wondering what might have been
Yes I do think about you every now and then
