Whether it’s a lost sweetheart from years ago or a love that slipped away too soon, Gene’s voice delivers the message with graceful sorrow and tender strength.
Backed by a classic country arrangement — soft steel guitar, gentle piano, and subtle fiddle — the music creates a reflective atmosphere that lets the lyrics take center stage. And when Gene sings:
“They say time will heal everything,
But sometimes time just lies…”

Old love never dies… and you’re not alone in remembering.
