Story in a Song

You used to walk in a room. You were soft on my weary eyes.

Good Lookin', I'd breathe in when you walked by.

Oh, I coulda loved you except you were another man's wife.

There's that old taboo so I chased the thought from my brain.

Emotionally there was sweetness and pain.

You see, the thought was gone but the feeling remained.

(Chorus:)

All that was so long ago

As I sit back and let the memories flow.

The days were alright but the nights were lonely and long.

But it's all over now and it's just a Story In A Song.

We were the closest of friends. There was nothing that we could hide.

Deep feelings were never to be denied.

When did we first detect a changing in the tide?

Was it you said to me or me that said to you?

Neither one of us said nothin' cuz both of us knew.

You get one chance a lifetime. You never ever get two.

(Chorus:)

And now seems like it never was any other way.

We're out of the shadows and into the light of day.

No brakes on our emotions. No secrets to get in the way.

Who was that woman struggling with right and wrong?

And who was that fella pining the whole night long?

Was it you and me or just some strangers in a song?

(Chorus:)

All that seems so long ago

As I sit back and let the memories flow.

The days were alright but the nights were lonely and long.

But it's all over now and it's just a Story In A Song.
