It was many years ago
Since I last laid eyes on you
Guess I'll never get you off my mind
We had been in love together but we one day realized
We were miles apart and headed separate ways
Oh but still we loved each other many times you come to mind
I wanted just to know how you had been
Are you still a lovely lady with the starlight in your eyes
I wonder if the years could treat you kind
Oh it's hard to make romance
I just wish that I could dance
One more time cross the dance hall holding you
But I'll never get the chance
If my eyes could only glance
That first glance that you gave me years ago
I'll bet you got a memory or two still tucked away
That you pull out when your kind of feeling down
You can always remember that there's someone in this world
Who loves you and will always be your friend
Oh it's hard to make romance
I just wish that I could dance
One more time cross the dance hall holding you
But I'll never get the chance
If my eyes could only glance
That first glance that you gave me years ago
Oh it's hard to make romance
I just wish that I could dance
One more time cross the dance hall holding you
But I'll never get the chance
If my eyes could only glance
That first glance that you gave me years ago
