Lyrics
I like to reminisce but at a time as gay as this
I’d rather dance, if you don’t mind
I’m free and so are you
Let’s wander on to “Pastures new”
And call it all a silly day-dream
We had to leave behind
Chorus
Why bring up our love affair?
It happened, it’s over, let’s forget it
Tears won’t get us anywhere
It happened, it’s over, let’s forget it
Ev’ry heart must pay for love
I’ve discovered since then
And yet I say “Hooray for love”
I’m hoping it happens again
