We go out skating, on ice slowly melting
And someday I think we're gonna drown
You're your own person, just the same way that I am
So sometimes we get each other down
Then I replace you, with a perfect body
A pretty face, but no mind
And I find feelings are coming back to me
And I think I love again

Dancing together on thin lines of parting
Weighing the future all alone
Wondering where is forever
Is it somewhere in the sky?
Or just a place, you call home

Sometimes while smiling
In the middle of the night time
As I taste this stranger's kiss
Oh, I miss you baby
And feelings are coming back to me
And I think, I love you again
And I think, I love you again
Baby, I know I love you again

Sometimes while smiling
In the middle of the night time
As I taste this stranger's kiss
ooh, I miss you baby

And feelings are coming back to me
And I think I love you again
I think I love you again
Don'tcha know that I know,
I know I love you again
Come on back, come on back to me
Whoa, I'm lonely, lonely can't you see
I think I love you again

Mr C's Rant
Brenda Lee was only 25 years old in 1970, an age when many artists still carry the "young" or "up and coming" labels. In many ways, her decline was overstated. She was still an international star with a full schedule of concerts, club dates and television appearances on the calendar. The only thing missing were hit records. In that regard, her own record company proved to be the worst enemy. They were very slow, for instance, to promote "Johnny One Time" when it unexpectedly hopped onto the country chart. That now classic Grammy nominated track failed to make the top 40. Lee's "Memphis Portrait" R&B album was made in Memphis with producer Chips Moman and received critical acclaim but the LP was again underpromoted. The single, "I Think I Love You Again", was co-written by Moman's wife, Toni Wine. It was "barely released" according to one source. The neglect by the record company continues even today when you consider that her albums with big hits like "Too Many Rivers", "Coming On Strong" and "Johnny One Time" remain out of print and digitally unavailable.

Mr C's Amazin' Fact #1
Her record company has never re-issued any of her early albums on CD. Fans must rely on imports from Germany, the UK and Japan. [Note: they did re-issue the Christmas album but messed it up badly. Eventually they did issue an excellent Christmas album with extra tracks but that didn't happen until 2003!]
