exactly one day and a lifetime ago
you stood before me with your lips hung ajar
awaiting my kiss, with you eyes lidded low
at the age of eighteen how'd we possibly know
one moment could reach so impossibly far
exactly one day and a lifetime ago
if i knocked and walked in and recaptured the glow
of our love in your heart, it would not have been hard
awaiting my kiss with your eyes lidded low
one kiss in one heartbeat would alter the flow
of our lives, of our dreams, what we were, what we are
exactly one day and a lifetime ago
we meet again, smiling a pleasant hello
you lean in and offer a cheek from afar
awaiting my kiss, with your eyes lidded low
One universe over I kissed you, and so
you took my hand. I drove you home in my car
exactly one day and a lifetime ago,
awaiting my kiss with your eyes lidded low.

One universe over I kissed you, and so
you took my hand. I drove you home in my car
exactly one day and a lifetime ago,
awaiting my kiss with your eyes lidded low.
What do I say? In another universe, we've had a lifetime together.
