Thinkin' back, thinkin' way back. When there was only you and me. And time went by so easily. We learned from above and tried to call it love. . All the trouble and the good and bad.
You have the cool, clear eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth,. Yet there's that up-turned chin and the grin of impetuous youth.. Oh I believe in you;.

Hometown sweethearts who ran in the dark. Only made a move or two. I was just a young fool, never been to night school. Didn't know enough to be cool.

Once we had each other. We had security. Anything she wanted. But she wanted to be free. . Thought I had everything in hand. Instead she's taken everything from me.
