Artist/Band: Dottie West
Lyrics for Song: I Heard Our Song
Lyrics for Album: Makin' Memories [RCA Victor] [1970]



(Sandy Mason)



Hmm, I heard an old song today

And it took me to yesterday

Back to the time when your love was mine

Now the song lingers on in my mind.



Stirring mem'ries that I'd left behind

The time of my life

When I was your wife

Now the song I've heard was our song today.



Today the strangest thing happened

And I just had the right to tell you about it

Remember the guitar that you sent little Jimmy on his birthday

Well, he sure is learning to play it.



Today he played a song just for me

But I had to turn away so he wouldn't see me cry

'Cause you see he was playin' our song

The one that used to be his lullaby.



I heard our song my dear

And it brought you so close so near

Though years have gone by it still made me cry

When I heard our song today, mhm...
