It's been a long time
Do you remember me?
I'm the girl you loved
When you were sixteen
We were so young
Didn't know anything
Except that you and I
Were mean to be
Together
But "forever" took too long
You got tired of waiting
And moved on to get a degree
At your dream college, Swanee
It's been eight years
Do you remember me,
The girl you loved at sixteen?

We were a little Romeo and Juliet
Hoping for a happier ending than death
Our parents said we were too young
And told us to wait
They wanted us to graduate
We would have to wait and see
If this truly meant to be
The years passed by
I gave other loves a try
But they never worked out
Like ours did
Even though we were just kids
There's something about you
I just couldn't forget
I felt the urge to cry
When I thought about you
And everything we've been through
Because the truth is
I haven't forgotten you
The boy I loved at fifteen

So how have you been,
After all these years?
You're a priest, you say?
Glad to know you've chased your dreams
But you say you're missing one thing
A wife
To keep you company at night
I hope you find the right girl for you
Very soon
What's that you say?
No, I haven't had my wedding day
Mr. Right hasn't come along
My love always turns out wrong
But it's good to know you remember me
The girl you loved at sixteen

Promise me you'll stay in touch
Even if you find true love
Always remember me
The girl you loved at sixteen
