Things seem so much better when

they're not part of your close surroundings.

Like words in a letter sent,

amplified by the distance.

Possibilities and sweeter dreams,

sights and sounds calling form far away,

calling from far away.

I didn't know you then, now did I girl?

I couldn't hear you singing softly to me.

I didn't know you then, now did I girl?

I didn't see the brave girl so near me.

I didn't know you then, now did I girl?

I couldn't hear you sing softly to me.



I wanted a mystery that couldn't be solved,

I wanted a puzzle with pieces missing.

I wanted a story that couldn't be told,

only the fishing part of fishing.



I didn't know you then, now did I girl?

I couldn't hear you singing softly to me.

I didn't know you then, now did I girl?

I didn't see the brave girl so near me.

I didn't know you then, now did I girl?

I couldn't hear you sing softly to me.



And now I find

it was you all the time.

I'm in love again-

it's too late now
