A remembered voice
( from a future book 'Glimpses'
I had a song in my head
Like an echo from the past
I cannot turn back time
And it didn’t last
Yet, the voice sang to me
As if someone had sent
A message, not by letter
But by what the sender meant
The song was one the singer
Could not have ever known
It wasn’t written at the time
So that tune she couldn’t own
How strange it was to listen
To the voice from days gone by
Yet, somehow it was remembered
And I didn’t even try

I can identify greatly. Yesterday a song popped into my head, so I sang the first four lines to my partner. She liked it very much. So I quickly wrote down the words, hoping I can remember the melody when I finish the song and post it as my poem this week on Saturday.
Thinking that I was just remembering a song by Elton John or Barry Manilow, I checked their songs and found that the one I thought of was significantly different so I'm quite happy to present it as my own and not as something that popped into my head like popular songs sometimes do.
