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
