Long ago
There was this pretty young thing from across the way
We used to go
To and fro, home and school about every day, but
Closest thing we ever had to a date
Was the time we spent together being late
Walking down the hall on our way to homeroom
But we were really young back then
So I guess I never noticed the time she took
To brush her hair and fix her clothes to make sure she looked
Like a princess everyday for me and
She was waiting for me
To do something
But I did nothing
Cause I was too blind to see
That I was just a boy and
She was my joy
Everything that I could need
She was so much more
Wonder if Ill ever see her (Knock, Knock)
Knocking at my door
She was my joy
Joy.JoyJoyJoy
I Wish I could
Go back in time and treat her a little better
Because I would
Maybe tell her how I feel; I could put it in a letter saying
J-O-Y because I like you,
A-B-C me in the yard after school
And Id hold her close
Maybe give her my coat if it was cold outside
But we were really young back then
And I guess I never noticed the time she took
To brush her hair and fix her clothes to make sure she looked
Like a princess everyday for me and
She was waiting for me
To do something
But I did nothing
Cause I was too blind to see
That I was just a boy and
She was my joy
It was so long ago
But I still see it like yesterday
We were walking alone
You were singing a song
I had my chance
I let it pass
And Ill never get it back again
I wonder how youve been my friend
I cant help but think about what couldve been
Would our lives be the same
A whole world of difference
From one tiny change
I dont know what Id give up
I dont know if youd live up
To my great expectations
Of you
