I knew her, but I didn’t know her
I was too shy at the time
but she was my first glimpse of beauty
I was dreaming she’d be mine
I watched her from the awkward distance
the way young people seem to dance
far away from one and other
waiting for my chance
Chorus
Love is gonna change you
It’s gonna rearrange you
You will never be the same
Now that love has learned your name
Our dads worked that steel town furnace
Till the good jobs went away
oh, black monday how you hurt us
how my life was changed that day
cause there was work they said in Georgia
and someone who would take us in
I stared out that Chevy window
and I never saw that girl again
Repeat chorus
That was oh so long ago
must be 30 years or so
Since I’ve even thought of this
and the love that I once missed
But I know how you believe
and I understand my son
when you say so earnestly
that she might be the only one
Repeat Chorus 2X
