Someone I Knew For a While
I flew across the sky for you
The plan was just one night
So how can something we know is so wrong
Feel so real... and so right
Everything happens for a reason
But why you...I’ll never know
Fate may have brought us together...but
My choice was to let you go
Forbidden love, forbidden sex
I know we crossed a line
I took the chance you gave
For those few hours...I made you mine
You gave me so much to remember
So how can I ever forget
Forever to fate I’ll be thankful
For that one precious night when we met
We both know we can’t be together
Too many things stand in our way
But that doesn’t mean I won’t miss you
And know in my heart you will stay
The distance between us is easy
For our secret to never unfold
No one will know... for you and I
Are a story that never gets told
I didn’t count on these feelings
I never dreamed I would fall
But I would rather have had just one night
Than to never have had you at all
The fire we made was gone to soon
Two hearts dancing to a different tune
We knew the truth but we played pretend
One-night lovers we couldn't defend
Now you’re a chapter in my book
And it’s time to turn the page
But this is a chapter I’ll never forget
It will never grow old...or age
Someday I know you’ll think of me
When memories stir in your mind
I know the only regrets we will have
Are the “what if's" we left behind
Always remember and never regret
Something that once made you smile
Always I’ll treasure that someone I loved
That someone I knew for a while...
And if loving you was my mistake
It's one I choose again to make...
