lyrics

I remember when I met her it was down in Rising Sun
The courtyard on a summer night
Wasn't long till we were swaying and I knew she was the one
That week she barely left my sight

She was so well travelled went to high school over seas
Her dad some kind of engineer
My mother was so puzzled asked what could she want with me
I shrugged grinning ear to ear

Now theres an echo
It's calling back to me
Like a thousand empty pages that no one is meant to read

She was only in town, to visit family
Of course she lived out of state
I told my mom she aint the devil and I think this is true love
Only a fool would hesitate

Now theres an echo
It's calling back to me
Like a thousand empty pages that no one is meant to read

Then it was September we had drinks on the lanai
Some liqueur one of her regulars made
We'd open up the house and play 'Because of the Times'
and by morning forget everything

Even as we hold tomorrow
Higher than we held today
When love is only a feeling
It's just one more game we play

Now theres an echo
It's calling back to me
Like a thousand empty pages that no one is meant to read
