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
