high school sweethearts
a bit more in college
we were gaining
more than knowledge
we were two souls
with one heart
when one would end
the other'd start
picking up where we left off
life's circle not a line
no ending in our future
this was the grand design
i came home to an empty place
i did not know just why
no note, no rhyme or reason
she did not say good bye
fourteen years and there she was
looking lost outside my door
was it worth another go
hell, let's go at it once more
two days and she was missing
what i felt had been a lie
again, no note or reason
and again, no sad goodbye
picking up where we left off
life's circle not a line
no ending in our future
this was the grand design
time had passed quite quickly
the phone rang, she cried to me
fifteen more years were behind us
is this how life should be?
we met for drinks and dinner
and before too much was said
we found a hotel 'round the corner
and we both tumbled into bed
in the morning, yes ...you guessed it
she was gone, i was alone
i called down for a taxi
i smelled her perfume on the phone
i saw it in the paper
two weeks ago she died
i felt sad that she was gone now
but, i couldn't cry, not if i tried
you see, we always seems to cross paths
no matter how, no matter when
i knew deep down we'd pick up
where we left off...some time again
picking up where we left off
life's circle not a line
no ending in our future
this was the grand design
