Week 1: Met My Old Lover

This week's playlist features songs about running into an old flame. Perhaps it's not surprising that there are a lot of country songs in the mix, but Dan Fogelberg and Barry Manilow put in appearances too, as well as the Cars.  Thanks to Ann W. for the Tiny Tim tip-off, and other suggestions from Susan B., Eric V., Susan M., and of course Shari.  Think of something I missed?  Add a comment!

1. "Still Crazy After All These Years," Paul Simon

Met my old lover on the street last night
She seemed so glad to see me; I just smiled

2. "Hello Darlin'," Conway Twitty

Hello darlin', nice to see you
It's been a long time
You're still as lovely as you used to be

3. "Non, j'ai rien oublié," Charles Aznavour

Je n'aurais jamais cru qu'on se rencontrerait
le hasard est curieux, il provoque les choses...

(I never would have believed that we would meet again
Chance is strange, it brings things about...)

4. "My Wife Thinks You're Dead," Junior Brown

It's good to see you, baby
It's been a long long while
We're both a whole lot older
Have seen a lot of miles

5. "Unanswered Prayers," Garth Brooks

Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame

6. "Same Old Lang Syne," Dan Fogelberg

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas eve
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve

7. "I Got That Old Feeling," Lew Brown & Sammy Fain

I saw you last night and got that old feeling
When you came in sight, I got that old feeling

8. "Sometime Around Midnight," Airborne Toxic Event

...And so there’s a change in your emotions
   And all these memories come rushing
   Like feral waves to your mind

9. "Funny How Time Slips Away," Willie Nelson

Well hello there
My, it's been a long long time
How am I doin'?
Well, I guess I’m doing fine
It's been so long now and it seems like
It was only yesterday
Gee, ain't it funny how time slips away

10."I Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love With You," Hank Williams

Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

11. "My Best Friend's Girlfriend," The Cars

Here she comes again
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
Oo, she'll make you flip
Here she comes again
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
I kinda like the way she dips

12. "Looks Like We Made It," Barry Manilow

There you are
Looking just the same as you did last time I touched you
And here I am
Close to getting tangled up inside the thought of you
