Just An Old Love Of Mine
Doris Day Lyrics

Just an old love of mine
Referring to a past relationship that was once significant but has since ended

That began with dinner and wine
The relationship started with a romantic night out

I thought everything would be fine
Initially, the singer believed the relationship would be successful

But now he's an old love of mine
However, things did not work out, and the person is now just a memory from the past

Just an old dream gone wrong
The relationship was like a dream at first, but it eventually failed

That began with the sweetest love song
The relationship began with romantic gestures, like the dedication of a love song

And I've carried memories so long
The singer has held onto memories of the relationship for an extended period

For just an old love of mine
However, now the person is nothing more than an old flame

So many times I've been lonely
The singer has felt lonely without the person many times

To do the things we would do
The singer misses doing the things they used to do as a couple

And I'd go back to remember
The singer reminisces about their past together

But I'd see all the people we knew
However, when reflecting on their past, the singer also sees other people they knew at that time

Oh, I try to be gay
The singer tries to be cheerful, despite feeling a sense of sadness

Hoping you will see things my way
The singer wishes the person would come back and understand their perspective

I can almost hear you say, "Hello again!"
The singer remembers the person and can almost hear them greeting her once again

Old love of mine
The person has become an old flame that the singer still thinks about from time to time
