| Lyrics |
I first met my girlfriend in the park one April dayshe was sitting underneath my favorite tree
I had to say "you can't sit there"
She laughed at me you know I couldn't help but like hertold her soand then I guess I must've closed my eyes and kissed herlooked againstill there
How did she get here?
Why today appear?
How can she be here?
Minutes stretched to days to monthswe never left that spot
I swear they had to mow around uscarved our names into the tree and pledged that we'd be there
One day we're talkingsuddenly she's got to play a game of hide and seek
I close my eyes and count to tenlook againshe's gone
Someone tell me pleasehow long must I wait for her to be a good friend to her now?I can only count so high; the numbers just run outbut I won't stop until they do
Looked high and low, looked all around but couldn't find herclimbed a tree--nothing to see but people looking at me funnycalled her name
I swear I spent the next three years just trying to find herthought I saw her once or twice but I'm not sureone thing I know though:when she goesshe's gone
How can I be therewhen I can't find her anywhere?
How can I beunless she iswhy should I bethere.
