Story in a Song

You used to walk in a room. You were soft on my weary eyes.

Good looklin’ I’d breathe in when you’d walk by.

Oh, I could’ve loved you except you were another man’s wife.

There’s that old taboo, so I chased the thought from my brain.

Emotionally there was sweetness and pain.

You see, the thought was gone but the feeling remained.

(Chorus:)

All that was so long ago

As I sit back and let the memories flow.

The days were alright but the nights were lonely and long.

But it’s all over now and it’s just A Story In A Song.

We were the closest of friends.’ There was nothing that we would hide.

Deep feelings were never to be denied.

When did we first detect a changing in the tide?

Was it you said to me or me that said to you?

Neither one of us said nothing cuz both of us knew:

You get once chance a lifetime. You never ever get two.

(Chorus)

And as the curtains of time spread a mist over all we’ve done

Our love is no secret to anyone.

It’s like the prize of the garden that shines all day in the sun.

Who was that woman struggling with right and wrong?

And who was that fella pining the whole night long?

Was it you and me or just some strangers in a song?

(Chorus)
