I Knew You Once
I knew you once upon a day
Long before the world got in the way
When times were different and
Who you are didn't affect who you'll be
Back when times were more free
Do you remember who I am
The way we used to play
Joking in science and laughing in lunch
Just having fun along the way
You asked me out one summer day
I turned you down not ready for that
Sitting way in the back of class
And I did feel bad for that
Sometimes I wonder if you remember
That time so long ago
And where would we be today
If my answer had been yes
Long before the world got in the way
When times were different and
Who you are didn't affect who you'll be
Back when times were more free
Do you remember who I am
The way we used to play
Joking in science and laughing in lunch
Just having fun along the way
You asked me out one summer day
I turned you down not ready for that
Sitting way in the back of class
And I did feel bad for that
Sometimes I wonder if you remember
That time so long ago
And where would we be today
If my answer had been yes
