When I was very young and life was free
My world was always full of dreams
Growing old was far away
No tomorrow, yesterdays
Nothing is the way it seems
I knew that one day I would fall in love
The way young people always do
How could I know what lay ahead
Life played with me instead
Didn’t count on meeting you
Only once
I always thought love came only once
that when you fell
you fell in love to stay
now all at once I realized this isn’t so
That love can come and love can go
it happens every day
She was mine with her I found a world that couldn’t end
Or so I thought right up until today
Then all at once I looked across and saw you there
And suddenly I knew nothing I could do
Would make me look away
