It took me so long
To find a woman like you I never dreamed We could ever be through In the 10 short years We spent together No one else could've Loved me better 10 Years used to Seem like forever Now it seems like A short span of time 10 Years flew Like the blink of an eye Now I'm remembering You used to be mine Something sure went wrong Nothing like it oughta be Time's only relevant To observers like me It's just an illusion I've come to see A construct Of my psychology 10 Years used to Seem like forever Now it seems like A short span of time 10 Years flew Like the blink of an eye Now I'm remembering You used to be mine Jim Colyer ascap jimcolyer.com |
