Lyrics

NOT LONG AGO, I MET THIS PRETTY LITTLE GIRL
HER EYES HAD THE SPARKLE OF A DIAMOND
THE GLOWING SHIMMER OF A PEARL
A LITTLE SHY, I COULD SEE IT IN HER SMILE
WENT TO A DINER TO HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE
SAT DOWN AND TALKED FOR AWHILE

WE FELL IN LOVE WHILE THE MORNING WAS BREAKIN
AND I THANK GOD FOR THE WAY I'D BEEN TAKEN

I WAS TAKEN BY THE WAY YOU LOVE ME
THERE'S NO NEED TO LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE
TAKEN BY THE WAY YOU HOLD ME
I DON'T WANNA HOLD ANYONE ELSE

AS YEARS GO BY
WE SHARE THE SADNESS AND THE JOY
THE MAN WHO'S LEAVIN FOR A JOB DOWN IN TEXAS
USED TO BE OUR LITTLE BOY
I FIXED THINGS UP
WHILE SHE PLANTS FLOWERS BY THE FENCE
WE SPEND THE EVENINGS READING OLD LOVE LETTERS
RELIVING YESTERDAY WITH FADED PHOTOGRAPHS
