Eighteen Years Later You And I


Eighteen Years Later You And I

 

 

If all those years back

I had talked like a bitch

And you not like an asshole

We would have had

Eighteen beautiful years of love together

With my Angel voice and your Devil’s ways

I would have made a lovely Micheal’s bride

And you a Don Corleone

 

 

Sometimes they say

Lovers are born star crossed

No matter how much they try to forget

It still doesn’t work

Like Bridges of Madison county

Is your story and mine

Sometimes life has a mind of it’s own

Or maybe it’s God

And you still cannot move on

Knowing fully well you cannot afford to live in the past

 

 

Eighteen years later here we are

You and I were meant to be no matter what

Our story which started a long time ago

And plenty that was left unsaid

But not so fast Lothario

Driving either in the fast lane

Or the parking lot

Either furious or so fast

Let’s take it slow and easy

After all what else is life all about

 

 

If all those years back

I had talked like a bitch

And you not like an asshole

We would have had

Eighteen beautiful years of love together

With my Angel voice and your Devil ways

I would have made a lovely Micheal’s bride

And you a Don Corleone

 

END

 

Sometimes they say

It's all written in the stars even before you were born

No matter how much you try to forget them

Life makes you feel blessed

And you cannot get them out of your head

Every single person who comes into your life

Pales in comparison

And the happiness you have been chasing after

For a very very long time now

No matter how hard you try

You know she is the one
