Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Over and over and over and over again
They play it to taunt me
Over and over and over and over again
The tune seems to haunt me
Of all the countless melodies
This one stirs up memories
It’s still the best and it’s my request
So, play it please
Chorus
There goes that song again
We use to call our serenade
We fell in love when we heard it played
Over and over and over and over again
I still remember when
I sang the words and they made you mine
I’d steal a kiss and repeat each line
Over and over and over and over and then
We drifted apart
You walked off with my heart
It’s funny how one listen
Just starts me reminiscing
I’d soon forget that ‘yen’, I told myself
When you said, “So long”
But I was wrong
There goes that song again
