Every Now and Then lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every now and then, I get a feelin'
Like I've left something behind me, but I don't know what it is yet
Like I tied a piece of string 'round my finger
And I hope this will remind me of the places I have been through

[Refrain]
When I'm down, down, down
When I'm down, down, down

[Verse 2]
Every now and then, when I'm feelin' lonely
I turn on my radio because I'm hopin' that you're out there
It seems so long ago I would see your writin'
On a postcard or a note and your stories would excite me

[Refrain]
When I was down, down, down
When I'm down, down, down

[Chorus]
With every new step along the way, I hope that the wind blows you
Back into my life, at the end of the road
And if I'm only dreamin', then, won't you tear the curtains down
And let the light back into this empty room?
[Verse 3]
Kissin' in your room, climbin' out the window
Tryin' not to make a sound, but with my first love on my mind
You see, we were never through, I never said I loved you
Even when we said goodbye, I never thought it was the last time

[Refrain]
When we were down, down, down
When I'm down, down, down

[Chorus]
With every new step along the way, I hope that the wind will blow you
Right back into my life, at the end of the road
Still, every now and then, I hear a voice singin' to me softly
Deep inside my head and he sings till I fall asleep
If I'm only dreamin', won't someone tear the curtains down?
Tear the curtains down

[Verse 4]
Every now and then, I get a feelin'
It's like I've left something behind, but I don't know what it is yet
Every now and then, when you're feelin' lonesome
Just sing this melody and remember where you're goin'

[Refrain]
When you're down, down, down
When you're down, down, down
When you're down, down, down
When you're down, down, down
When you're down, down, down, down
When you're down, down, down, down, down
[Outro]
Oh, I said, oh, oh, oh
