One day in your life

Words and music by RENEE ARMAND and SAM BROWN
Released in 1975, re-released in 1981

This song was sung by somebody whose name gets mentioned less and less in polite society as time goes by. He didn't write the song, however. The lyrics have haunted me since I first heard the re-release in 1981. Although happily married now, I remember a time when a relationship ended and it took my Mum to point out that I was spending hours watching a blank TV screen into the wee hours. This song seemed to encapsulate perfectly the feeling that a relationship is dead in the water and it wouldn't be a wise move to try to resurrect it...and yet, if the other party were to indicate they were willing to revisit it...

One day in your life
You'll remember a place
Someone's touching your face
You'll come back and you'll look around you

One day in your life
You'll remember the love you found here
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day...

One day in your life
When you find that you're always waiting
For the love we used to share
Just call my name
And I'll be there

You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day...

One day in your life
When you find that you're always longing
For the love we used to share
Just call my name
And I'll be there
