Long ago
There was this pretty young thing from across the way
We used to go
To and fro, home and school about every day, butââ¬Â¦
Closest thing we ever had to a date
Was the time we spent together being late
Walking down the hall on our way to homeroom
But we were really young back then
So I guess I never noticed the time she took
To brush her hair and fix her clothes to make sure she looked
Like a princess everyday for me and
She was waiting for me
To do something
But I did nothing
Cause I was too blind to see
That I was just a boy and
She was my joy
Everything that I could need
She was so much more
Wonder if I'll ever see her (Knock, Knock)
Knocking at my door
She was my joyââ¬Â¦
Joyââ¬Â¦.Joyââ¬Â¦Joyââ¬Â¦Joy
I Wish I could
Go back in time and treat her a little better
Because I wouldââ¬Â¦
Maybe tell her how I feel; I could put it in a letter saying
ââ¬Â½J-O-Y because I like you, ââ¬
ââ¬Â½A-B-C me in the yard after schoolââ¬
And I'd hold her close
Maybe give her my coat if it was cold outside
But we were really young back then
And I guess I never noticed the time she took
To brush her hair and fix her clothes to make sure she looked
Like a princess everyday for me and
She was waiting for me
To do something
But I did nothing
Cause I was too blind to see
That I was just a boy and
She was my joy
It was so long ago
But I still see it like yesterday
We were walking alone
You were singing a song
I had my chance
I let it pass
And I'll never get it back again
I wonder how you've been my friend
I can't help but think about what could've been
Would our lives be the same
A whole world of difference
From one tiny change
I don't know what I'd give up
I don't know if you'd live up
To my great expectations
Of youââ¬Â¦
