Hank Snow - Someone Mentioned Your Name lyrics

Written by Merle Haggard Recorded by Hank Snow C I thought I w-as through missing you F I thought I was through being blue C G7 And t-hen someone ment-ioned your n-ame C Some careless friend just chanced to say F That t-hey saw you the other day C G7 And t-hey said you looked just the same C F Then I remem-bered your arms and how they held me dear C D7 G7 But the memory only brought me that same old empty fear C F Now I'm right back where I started that awful day we parted C G7 C And all because they men-tioned your name I told myself the hurt was gone F That not one memory lingered on C G7 And t-hen someone ment-ioned your n-ame C They didn't mean to tear away F The veil that hid my yesterday C G7 But there it was with all the same old pain C F For I remem-bered your kiss on the day we said goodbye C D7 G7 Was the l-ast glowing ember of a flame that had to d-ie C F Now I'm right back where I started that awful day we parted C G7 C And all because they men-tioned your name
