David Mead - Twenty Girls Ago lyrics

I was young and Bon Vivant Twenty girls ago When love was born on city nights Under falling snow How I played the same charade Drunk on first hellos A vagabond dream, hey that was me Twenty girls ago I was quick to turn the page Thirteen girls ago When love could live on lucky breaks And favorite episodes But tempers flared and teeth were bared Whenever things got slow Stuck in a rut, pushing my luck Thirteen girls ago Others may have measured time In accolades and dollar signs I had but one concern Another year, another love And the question Was it me or was it her Time was running out the door Seven girls ago We signed the lease and bought the rings Honeymooned in Rome As pigeons flew one afternoon I found myself alone Pining for youth, avoiding the truth Seven girls ago Well I was lost, hit the wall Desperate nights of alcohol Wondering what I should do Another year, another love Never answered Then at last there was you Time was turning back again Just one girl ago The soft impression of your eyes My favorite first hello Now these are days of serenades Whispered sweet and slow Believing in love just like it was Twenty girls ago Believing in love just like it was Twenty girls ago
