Lyrics
VERSE: Once there was a boy in old blue jeans and a brand new smile
Every Sunday he would hitchhike near a hundred miles
To show up at my door
Oh my heart would soar at his bashful style
CHORUS: Wasn't that you who was gonna love me forever
Wasn't that you who was never gonna break my heart
Wasn't that you who said we'd always stay together
That someone I knew
Wasn't that you
VERSE: He'd take my hand as gentle as a summer breeze
And the first time that he kissed me oh he asked me please
Would it be OK
That's all he had to say to turn the key
BRIDGE:
Now the time has come to go
And we're ending just like so many others do
It's all happening so fast
But there's one question I could ask
If you want me to
Do you want me to
REWRITE (last four lines of Bridge):
I can hardly catch my breath
'Cause when I said "I do' I meant
For my whole life through
Oh didn't you
CHORUS
Karl Williams (ASCAP) / Robert C. Welsh (ASCAP)
