The Girl I Used To Know

The Girl I Used To Know I know what I wanted to say The words were there My mind thought out just what to say They have been there so long But, when I see you they disappear Other thoughts take their place Memories of you from long ago When you were in my arms When my eyes looked into your heart And I saw you for who you really were Tee shirts, pony tails and thick framed glasses You are no longer the woman I kissed The one who owned my heart and soul Over the years you changed Your face and hair became too beautiful Your body became a statue of a goddess Flawless, perfect beyond belief You chose diamonds and designer gowns Your choices ruined the girl you used to be You became too good for a poor country boy A boy from the wrong side of the street But you know that this boy never changed I still remember and dream of you However, I will keep my words hidden deep inside me For now I will just look at you and remember When you were just the girl I knew a long time ago
