My bride calls this a "cheatin' song", But i say NO, it's a "THINKING about Cheatin'" song. (Right fellas?)
lyrics
Have you been there too? - words and music by Darrell Rodgers
Seems like forever since we were one. I well remember our youthful fun.
In dreams at night darling we rendezvous, and I'm wondering if you’ve been there too.
Lately I’ve been dreamin’ ‘bout you every night. I’m married now so it don’t seem right
I ain’t lookin’ for a dream come true, I’m only wonderin’ if you’ve been there too.
Have you been there darlin’ do you dream of me, do I hold a sweet spot in your memory?
Tell me sugar, tell me true, do you think of me like I think of you?
Do I still love you? oh there ain’t no doubt. Got you in my heart, can’t get you out.
There ain’t a single thing that you need do, but tell me that you’ve been there too.
The years go by, they leave us lonely, dreamin’ ‘bout some former one and only
The only one I dream about is you, and I’m wonderin’ if you’re dreamin’ too.
Have you been there darlin’ do you dream of me, do I hold a sweet spot in your memory?
Tell me sugar, tell me true, do you think of me like I think of you?
(skat) Deet en daadi doot en deet dat do, deedley daaten deeten dat deet do
Deeten datti deet en dat deet doo. Tell me darlin’ have you been there too?
(skat) Beep Bop Boop booo. Deedley datten deeten daaten dee doo.
I close my eyes and I fantasize, tell me darlin’ have you been there too?
Have you been there darlin’ do you dream of me, do I hold a sweet spot in your memory?
You can tell me sugar, tell me true, do you think of me like I think of you?
Wait a minute, I don’t want to know. I’d be heartbroken if the answer’s no.
But if it’s yes, that’ll torture me too, knowin’ there ain’t nothin’ we can do.
So, don’t say a word, keep it to yourself. I’ll put my memories of you on a shelf
And take ‘em down when I get feelin blue and imagine that you’ve been there too
