(Why remind me) the way we used
to talk and laugh,
I don't need any photograph to
think of you [think of you],
(Why remind me) the way we
danced the whole night long,
I don't need records of our song
to sing it through.
I don't need books of matches to
remember our caf‚.
What earthly good are matches to
a flame of yesterday?
(Why remind me) I know our love
has played its part,
I'm only asking of my heart to
stop reminding me of you.

(I don't need any matches to

(What earthly good are matches)

(Why remind me I know our love
has played its part,)
(I'm only asking of my heart) to
stop reminding me of you,
It just keeps reminding me of
you.
