Words and music by bob seger I still remember how i fell for you There wasn't one thing i would not do I still recall the love in your eyes Blue like the sky on a clear sunrise And it was real at the time Real at the time I was yours you were mine It was real at the time You were a lioness tall and lean You were the best thing i'd ever seen I heard a loneliness in your voice I charged ahead i had no choice Cause it felt real at the time Real at the time Like a mountain you climb It felt real at the time And babe you meant so much to me I never will forget your face I never will forget those nights Those nights Those nights Lost in the pettiness and the fights Lost in the battle for bragging rights We were a couple of kindred souls Fighting for childish things like control But it was real at the time Real at the time Like the scene of a crime It was real at the time It was real at the time I was yours you were mine We got way out of line But it was real at the time
