She stepped off the airplane*
And we drove straight to my house.
An hour later we were lyin in bed,
And laughin right out loud.
We talked about the old times
And we made love again.
It’d been so long,
Since my fingers touched her skin.
We were so in love back then.
Why didn’t we work out?
Well I don’t know,
But it don’t make sense to me now.
She said tell me you love me.
I love you.
She said say it again.
Well honey I do.
She said say it like you mean it,
Like it’s in your hear and you believe it.
I’m wanting to believe it too.
Well I loved you when we were innocent.
And I loved you when we were young.
And I loved you when I was working on the beach chairs in the sun.
I loved you in that rundown flat we rented overseas.
And I love you now so powerful
It brings me to my knees.
And in the night when your hair falls down around my face.
I loved you.
Well she got up for a drink
And walked naked across the floor.
Beggin my with her playful smile
And I wanted her once more.
Then she poured the wine and we drank it
And she laid back down on the bed.
Then she curled up against me
And said if you want me you’ll have to tell me again.
Well I loved you when we were innocent.
And I loved you when we were young.
I loved you when I was working
On the beach chairs in the sun.
I loved you in that rundown flat we rented overseas,
And I love you now so powerful
That it brings me to my knees.
And in the night when your hair falls down around my face.
I loved you.
Then the next day at the airport
I held her close and
Hated like hell to let her go.
But as I did, I softly said.
I loved you when we were breakin up
When the truth was hard to see.
And I love you now so powerful
It still brings me to my knees
Last night when your hair fell down around my face.
I loved you.
