I have an earworm. It's a break section of an old popular song, but it's all I can remember. To make it worse it seems to work well with almost any other song which comes to my mind which is in a similar timing.

I know you guys can help me out.

All I know is:

I remember all the little things we used to do.
I'm so lonely.
Every road I walk along I walked along with you.
No wonder I am lonely.

Lover, Come Back To Me (or is it Lover, Where Can You Be?)

Don't know who wrote it or recorded it, though.

Wassail!

Spot on Snuffy! Here you go Helen......I hope!

LOVER COME BACK TO ME

Sigmund Romberg / Oscar Hammerstein II

You went away
I let you
We broke the ties that bind
I wanted to forget you
And leave the past behind
Still, the magic if the night I met you
Seems to stay forever in my mind

The sky was blue
And high above
The moon was new
And so was love
This eager heart of mine was singing
Lover where can you be
You came at last
Love had its day
That day is past
You've gone away
This aching heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me
When I remember every little thing
You used to do
I'm so lonely
Every road I walk along
I walk along with you
No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue
The night is cold
The moon is new
But love is old
And while I'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me
When I remember every little thing
You used to do
I grow lonely
Every road I walk along
I walk along with you
No wonder I am lonely
The sky is blue
The night is cold
The moon is new
But love is old
And while I'm waiting here
This heart of mine is singing
Lover come back to me


best wishes, Yvonne

Thanks Snuffy & Quincy/Yvonne. You have put me out of my misery and reminded me how much I like that song, especially the variations in the melody. Now to find the midi and I'll be an absolutely happy-chappy.

It's a good prospect for the Celtic harp/flute/guitar group my sister, her hubby and I are tinkering with. Sis & I did a wedding gig on Saturday - first real fully paid professional gig. (Though of course this song wouldn't be an appropriate wedding song - grin)
