Years Ago

I wish you and I met some years ago
We could have done so much more
We could have walked along the shore
Oh I wish we could have met years ago

I wish I could have taken you to Prom
Back then you would have loved my Mom
She would have thought you were the bomb
Oh, I wish I could have taken you to Prom

Alas, there’s this bitter shame I hold
For the stories to you, I haven’t told
Yet when you look in my eyes you know
All the secrets I hold from years ago

I wish we could have played in a band
And harmonized as I held your hand
We would have traveled all over this land
Oh, I wish we could have played in a band

Alas, we met each other later on in life
Yet I’m thankful that you’re my dearest wife
We both know this has been a hard row to hoe
Oh, I wish we loved each other years ago.
