Yesterday when I turned on the radio

I heard a very familiar tune

Upbeat and fun

A love song I couldn’t place

A happy tune to cure my sorrows

My worries gone for just that moment

 

What a shame I never saw the title

 

I carry on everyday life

The hardships and the struggles

But when I’m at my worst I hum that song

I still don’t know the name

I only heard it once

But it rooted itself in my brain

 

I hear that familiar chord

And hope it’ll finally be that song I love

But it’s the same old sad song that’s got me down

 

Maybe I’ll never hear it again

I’ll be stuck with only the memory of a few lines

But at least those lines will bring me happiness

For as long as I can remember them
