Hank Snow
Someone Mentioned Your Name
I thought I was through missing you I thought I was through being blueAnd then someone mentioned your nameSome careless friend just chanced to sayThat they saw you the other dayAnd they said you looked just the sameThen I remembered your arms And how they held me dearBut the memory only brought me That same old empty fearNow I'm right back where I started That awful day we partedAnd all because they mentioned your nameI told myself the hurt was gone That not one memory lingered onAnd then someone mentioned your nameThey didn't mean to tear awayThe veil that hid my yesterdayBut there it was with all the same old painFor I remembered your kiss On the day we said goodbyeWas the last glowing ember Of a flame that had to dieNow I'm right back where I started That awful day we partedAnd all because they mentioned your name
