You were the oldest memory I could ever think of You were there when I was learning the alphabets And having trouble memorizing the multiplication table You were there when the teacher locked me out of the classroom I wasn't able to bring a gumamela You gave me one during Science class You also helped me carry the logs And amazed me with your ability to make fire during the first camp out I was quietly looking at your sketches I once told you, they were good But you just flashed a smile and I've noticed the sparkles in your eyes I know I should've concentrated in History instead But Trigonometry and Physics were done And we've marched down the aisle with flying colors I've never seen you again After you threw your tassel at our graduation day Believe me, these memories came in to me When I saw you again after 8 years of nothing You were still the same innocent face I knew Only a lot more of a beautiful face, A more subtle eyes, A more genuine smile And it amazes me more 'Cause you've grown into a good man And maybe... just maybe I thought, It's because of the girl you're always with In the photographs with a deep caption of yours Maybe... just maybe It's a lot more than I think 'Cause I knew it by the way you look at her

You were the oldest memory I could ever think of You were there when I was learning the alphabets And having trouble memorizing the multiplication table You were there when the teacher locked me out of the classroom I wasn't able to bring a gumamela You gave me one during Science class You also helped me carry the logs And amazed me with your ability to make fire during the first camp out I was quietly looking at your sketches I once told you, they were good But you just flashed a smile and I've noticed the sparkles in your eyes I know I should've concentrated in History instead But Trigonometry and Physics were done And we've marched down the aisle with flying colors I've never seen you again After you threw your tassel at our graduation day Believe me, these memories came in to me When I saw you again after 8 years of nothing You were still the same innocent face I knew Only a lot more of a beautiful face, A more subtle eyes, A more genuine smile And it amazes me more 'Cause you've grown into a good man And maybe... just maybe I thought, It's because of the girl you're always with In the photographs with a deep caption of yours Maybe... just maybe It's a lot more than I think 'Cause I knew it by the way you look at her
Cause that's how you used to look at me before
