When my eyes first set on yours
I knew right then and there
That I\'d love you forever
But age was always a care
I began to stay up late every night
Thinkin\' about you
Dreamin\' and hopin\'
That you were thinkin\' about me, too
I got shivers all over
When I heard the sound
Of you speaking
As it twirled me around
Never in my wildest dreams
Did I ever think
That my feelings would grow stronger
In just one blink
I grew up fast
So maybe you could see
That I\'m more than a girl with a crush
But who I truly am, me
I saw you walking
On the sidewalk one day
I asked myself, \"should I smile or nod?
Or just give him a simple \'hey\'?\"
I watched you
As you walked on past
The chance was gone
But that did not last
I went to a softball game
And you were there
But why I cried that night
Was just not fair
You fell in love with someone
It was my best friend
It hurt so much
I wished it would end
I couldn\'t look at you the same way
The way I once did
But for you it was the same
Because I was just a kid
All I ever wanted
Was that one chance with you
To have my hopes become reality
And my dreams come true
Now I\'m older
And a bit wiser, too
But one thing will never change
And that\'s the way I love you
