“I Loved You When” -Roger Creager
|
|
She stepped off the airplane,
|
And we drove straight to my house.
|
An hour later we were lyin in bed,
|
And laughin right out loud.
|
We talked about the old times
|
And we made love again.
|
It’d been so long,
|
Since my fingers touched her skin.
|
|
We were so in love back then.
|
Why didn’t we work out?
|
Well I don’t know,
|
But it don’t make sense to me now.
|
|
She said tell me you love me.
|
I love you.
|
She said say it again.
|
Well honey I do.
|
Then say it like you mean it,
|
Like it’s in your heart and you believe it.
|
I’m wanting to believe it too.
|
|
Well I loved you when we were innocent.
|
And I loved you when we were young.
|
And I loved you when I was working on the beach chairs in the sun.
|
I loved you in that rundown flat we rented overseas.
|
And I love you now so powerful
|
It brings me to my knees.
|
And in the night when your hair falls down around my face.
|
I love you.
|
|
Well she got up for a drink
|
And walked naked across the floor.
|
Looking back at me with her playful smile
|
And I wanted her once more.
|
Then she poured the wine and we drank it
|
and we laid back down on the bed.
|
Then she curled up against me
|
And said if you want me you’ll have to tell me again.
|
|
I said I loved you when we were innocent.
|
And I loved you when we were young.
|
I loved you when I was working hard
|
On the beach chairs in the sun.
|
I loved you in that rundown flat we rented overseas,
|
And I love you now so powerful
|
That it brings me to my knees.
|
And in the night when your hair falls down around my face.
|
I love you.
|
|
Then the next day at the airport
|
I held her close and
|
Hated like hell to let her go.
|
But as I did, I quietly said.
|
|
I loved you when we were breakin up
|
When the truth was hard to see.
|
I love you now so powerful
|
It still brings me to my knees
|
Last night when your hair fell down around my face.
|
I loved you.
