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
