Was She the One

This one is about a love story interrupted by advancing age and failing memory. Know this is not a happy song, and the topic is horrifically relatable to many. So fully understand if you skip it. The topic is relatable to us as well. I do find a poignant beauty in the lyrics as the narrator sorts through the confusion, the clouds of misremembrances and occasional moments of clarity...

THANKS in advance if you care to listen and comment.

AI: Not used. Don't get me wrong, AI MIGHT make this "better" for many listeners. But then it wouldn't be ours any more, would it?

I said “I miss you”
And I could tell she felt the same
I said “I want to kiss you”
As I tried to remember her name

Was she the one?
Was she the one?

Was she the one who forgot to make the bed?
Or the one who always messed-up the showerhead?
Was she the one who left me with nothing to drink?
And did she leave all those dirty dishes in the sink?

I said “I need you”
And she moved quickly to my side
I said “Did I mislead you?”
Or had she always known I had lied?

Was she the one?
Was she the one?

Was she the one who never said I looked nice?
Or took my credit card and always paid full price?
Was she the one who was too concerned with her looks?
And did she give to charity all my fav’rite books?

Was she the one?
Was she the one?

I saw her on the promenade
Looking so serene
Her hair a shade of goldenrod
With a touch of green
She said she’d just come from abroad
And hung out with the Queen
Oh!

I said “I love you”
And I knew that was how she felt
I said “I always think of you”
Or was I thinking of someone else?

Was she the one?
Was she the one?

I don’t know
I don’t know
