I was watching a movie the other night on T.V.
|
The actress reminded me of you
|
Her attitude, the way that she smiled
|
She was doin' a part girl, like you used to do
|
I do believe you played it better
|
If it wasn't better, it was just as strong
|
I would've called you up on the telephone that night
|
But somehow girl, it'd been all wrong
|
|
I heard you married a stranger
|
In a horse and carriage that was covered with gold
|
Well, you wanted to be different and still fit in
|
I wonder if you feel different at all now that you're older
|
Hope you didn't lose that innocent laughter
|
Oh, God I hope time didn't take that away
|
All those junior high nights underneath the front porch light
|
A good Catholic girl during the day
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
|
Old enough to know that these memories can't hurt a thing
|
Oh, oh just watching the time grow
|
If I saw you today, girl I wouldn't even know ya
|
|
Well I know it wasn't that big of a love affair
|
But boy, it sure seemed like one back then
|
When I parlay the memories into their proper places
|
I can see now we were no more than friends
|
Ooh your kisses sure tasted sweet
|
But I guess any kiss tastes sweet at fifteen
|
I just hope your touch is as warm to your ol' man
|
As it seemed like it was to me
|
|
[Chorus]
|
