Through all this time, if I had only known,
you were the one, the only one for me.
I would've done things much differently.
Done things so much differently.

Remember the time when we first met?
At that freshman dance under the stars?
You melted into me as if we were mated.
Though you were from Venus and I from Mars.

(Refrain)

Lost in each other, those were the days,
when we were as free as the skies above,
never saw any error in our carefree ways.
When we wasted our education for love.

(Refrain)

But the seeds of our love were planted.
Soon, we were faced with a grim choice:
leave school and raise our child,
or let him go without hearing his voice.

(Refrain)

We married and had more children,
but there was always that regret.
It led to our marriage dissolving,
a time I will never, ever, forget.

Through the years there were other loves,
some memorable and some not.
But I always thought of you, my dear,
through all that time, I never forgot.

(Refrain)

I am compelled to write songs badly, like this
attempted love song, based on another writer's wishes.
