I remember how we met
Just how could I forget
That fateful summer day
When you swept my heart away
So innocent and sweet
On your lawn beside the street
In that faded flower dress
Your grass-stained knees, your hair a mess
How quickly we would be
The best of friends, so young so free
On an endless summer day
Gladly wasting time away
It came as no surprise
That I found first love in your eyes
And that you found first love in mine
Playing games and singing songs
Smiles and laughter all day long
Soaring so high on those swings
I'd have sworn that I'd grown wings
Looking back now how I smile
And long to turn back time awhile
To spend one more day with you
Doing the goofy things we'd do
It came as no surprise
That I found first love in your eyes
And that you found first love in mine
Now I know I'll never see your face
Or kiss your lips again
I'll never be as happy
As I was then
In time we parted ways
Moved into the next phase
Of our lives now apart
With an ever changed heart
I would see you here and there
Afraid to show how much I care
Wanting only to
Wrap you tightly
In my arms again
But that was not to be
How did I not see
How you fell from grace and were forsaken
The tragic turn your life had taken
How did that sweet and innocent
Young pretty girl I knew
Become so trapped in life's despair
That she had turned to
A life of violence
A life of terror
A life of misery
A life that ended far too soon
In a shroud of mystery
Oh my darlin, how I miss you Patti
It came as no surprise
That I found first love in your eyes
And that you found first love in mine
Now I know I'll never see your face
Or kiss your lips again
I'll never be as happy
As I was then
I remember how we met
Just how could I forget
That fateful memory
Will always live inside of me
