Trudy Desmond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings
Just one of those things
It was just one of those nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
If we'd thought a bit, of the end of it
When we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair
Was too hot, not to cool down
So goodbye, dear, and Amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
It was great fun
But it was just one of those things

It was just one of those things
It was one of those random occurrences
Just one of those crazy flings
Just a spontaneous, short-lived romance
One of those bells that now and then rings
One of those rare moments that come by every once in a while
Just one of those things
Just one of those things
It was just one of those nights
It was one of those unforgettable nights
Just one of those fabulous flights
A magical experience like flying on cotton candy clouds
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings
Like a trip to fairy tale land
If we'd thought a bit, of the end of it
If we had planned for its eventual conclusion
When we started painting the town
When we began our wild adventures
We'd have been aware that our love affair
We would have realized that our romance
Was too hot, not to cool down
Was too intense to last forever
So goodbye, dear, and Amen
So farewell, my love, and amen
Here's hoping we meet now and then
I hope we cross paths occasionally
It was great fun
It was an amazing time
But it was just one of those things
But it was just one of those things
