Do you know why I love you? A long time ago, we went bowling at the disco lanes I liked you, I didn't know if you liked me Sure, we held hands, but I was young I knew nothing In ordered fashion, I was polite I did as I was taught at home, or by society I respected you, so I didn't cross lines Thank heavens you did, for when you kissed me My opaque future became transparent Now, before, and later, life has, does and will challenge us And as front as our perils may seem They will always trickle down the umbrella of the girl I once knew, know and will always love
