This is one of the main songs from the musical WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE RAILWAY CHILDREN.      But here it has been arranged as a love ballad in the modern style, not appropriate to the period musical.   It is aimed at those who like "middle of the road".

In the musical, the song, sung twice by Mother, - giving maternal advice  to her daughter, Bobbie when they are discussing how love will one day happen when a person, meets her true mate; and later to  Doctor Forrest as she explains that his talk of romance between them must come to an end now that her husband has been proved innocent of any crime or misconduct. and is released from proson.

The actual lyrics from the script of LIVING IN THE COUNTRY are provided in a separate window.

Here, below are the lyrics of this version of the song for the popular modern market:

Another time, another place, Some other name some other face, You’ll find some other love one day, Some other year some other May             

Another time, another place,To disappear and leave no trace, Another life, another start,        Then you and I we’d never part

But your eyes just seem to sparkle, And your hair blows in the wind, And I want to put my hand against your cheek, You’re like a statue in some temple, Of someone with troubled mind,                Not the kind of thing to happen every week

Another place, another time, I might be yours, you might be mine, Another life there would be,    And then we would be quite free,To love each other so       

If I’d met you years ago, Nothing to regret,    There’s somebody else, I can’t forget …...          Forget … forget ……...
