Lyrics
Just an old love of mine
Expressing that the subject is a past romantic love.
That began with dinner and wine.
Describing the beginning of the relationship with a dinner and wine.
I thought everything would be fine,
Initial optimism about the relationship.
But now he's an old love of mine.
Indicating that the love has faded or ended, referring to the person as an "old love."
Just an old dream gone wrong
Characterizing a dream that didn't unfold as expected.
That began with the sweetest love song,
Highlighting the romantic beginning with a love song.
And I've carried memories so long
Emphasizing the enduring nature of memories associated with the past love.
For just an old love of mine.
Reiterating that the focus is on an old love.
So many times I've been lonely
Expressing repeated loneliness experienced after the end of the relationship.
To do the things we would do,
Reflecting on activities and experiences shared in the past with the former partner.
And I'd go back to remember,
Expressing a desire to reminisce about the past.
But I'd see all the people we knew.
Mentioning the challenge of revisiting memories due to the presence of people associated with the past.
Oh, I try to be gay,
Describing an attempt to stay positive or cheerful.
Hoping you will see things my way;
Expressing hope that the former partner will understand the perspective.
I can almost hear you say, "Hello again!",
Recalling a potential greeting or acknowledgment from the past love.
Old love of mine.
Affirming the enduring nature of the feelings for the old love.
Now I'd go back to remember,
Repeating the theme of wanting to remember the past despite challenges.
But I'd see all the people we knew.
Acknowledging the presence of people from the past when attempting to reminisce.
Oh, I try to be gay,
Reiterating the attempt to maintain a positive attitude or mood.
Hoping you will see things my way;
Expressing the hope that the former partner will understand the speaker's perspective.
I can almost hear you say, "Hello again!",
Recalling an anticipated greeting or acknowledgment from the old love.
Old love of mine.
Affirming the enduring nature of feelings for the old love.
