How Life Goes

how life goes

                            One summer day at the creek
                           thats where it all began
                           what memories I have to keep
                           you were a boy longing to be a man
                           I knew right from the start
                           it wouldn't take long for you to win my heart
                           so many dreams to me you sold
                           forever to have and to hold
                           but forever is a long time
                           you not coming home one night was no crime
                           there is no way to really know
                           it just meant I need to go
                           the house was empty and cold
                           how did I know? some one must have told
                           you never dreamed it would come to this
                           it started with just a kiss
                           she was just a fling
                           she means nothing 
                           thats what you say
                           but I don't see it that way
                           we see this quite differently
                           the one that meant nothing was me
