Intro

( )

 I stumbled through visions, revealed my condition

 As thoroughly taken with you

 Your blue eyes shot through me, I changed irrevocably

 The days of tomcatting were through

 15 years old well, what did I know?

 I've never been one for a fight

 I needed you then and every day since

 like a flower is needing sunlight

 I guess that I gave it up then

 This self that alludes weaker men

 And what was my young heart to do?

 A girlfriend as pretty as you

 There in my early twenties, I spent most of it running

 But I never once missed my home

 You were right there beside me, no idea who I would be

 And I never once felt alone

 Then somewhere all this bitterness got tougher to dismiss

 And I started thinking a lot

 There has got to be more to life, then simply man and wife

 At least back then that's what I thought

 I guess that you gave it up then

 Yourself, for the sake of this man

 And how could your young heart agree?

 A boyfriend as angry as me

 I was gonna be something that I saw on TV

 You were more like a warm spring that weathered the winter of me

 Ahh, You weathered the winter of me

 I'm not that much older, there's so much that I still don't know

 And nothing to blame but this love

 I feel no more a man then I did at that high school dance

 But time doesn't wait for no one

 As for who we became, I still play in this band

You are a teacher at school

 And if this is what living is, I feel like an idiot

 For blaming my love like a fool

 I guess that we gave it up then

 The truth is there are no regrets girl

What was my young heart to do?

 A girlfriend as pretty as you

 A girlfriend as pretty as you

 A girlfriend as pretty as...

 ......as pretty as you
