You remembered me when you were far away
I thought you would forget the day we ever met but your letter came today
You remembered me I was so surprised
My thoughts quickly flew to moments we knew and teardrops filled my eyes

I recall our distant romance we planned on wedding bells
A quarrel came by mischance now you belong to someone else
But you can't forget our used-to-be
There's an ember aglow it's sweet just to know you remembered me
[ fiddle - steel ]
I recall our distant romance...
