From the recording Honesty and Chocolate

An imagined meeting with an old flame after many years. Again, I have Chris Varley to thank for deft piano.

Lyrics

I couldn’t believe that you were the young girl I used to want to kiss and hold

You couldn’t believe that I was the young man

All those years ago you used to know


Maybe we had expectations that young love’s passion felt would never end

Maybe no intimation that we would go our separate ways

As friends, as friends


I cannot believe that you look so good

In spite of the many years that lay between us

You may not believe but I still remember all those kisses stolen with such passion


Perhaps distance lends enchantment But time itself has been so kind to you

Lovely in full bloom’s measure, the smile upon you lips

The smile upon your lips makes old hearts

New – Old hearts new

I couldn’t believe that you were the young girl I used to love so much

And still do
