I Wish I Was A Girl Like You

You know I miss you now and again

Though I never missed you then

Isn't that the beauty of love?

We forget about everything

There was a time we could have come back

Got over what it was we lacked

Do what everybody else does

Made a deal, not made a fuss

All the things we wish we could have done

But we haven't done yet

On the tribulation of regret

Sometimes I wish I was a girl like you for just one day

If just one day we heard the things

We used to say so differently

So differently we might not have let our love slip as easily

But a girl like you would not have given it away

There was a time you were the May queen

When all around our world was mantled green

We fell for the beauty of love

Or so now that's how it seems

Where every lad and every lass went

We only followed the romance

Despite never quite knowing

We made up our own dance

All the time we seemed to have then

We're only envious of now

We'd like to go back but we don't know how

Sometimes I wish I was a girl like you for just one day

If just one day we heard the things

We used to say so differently

We might not have let our love slip as easily

But a girl like you would not have given it away

Sometimes I wish I was a girl like you for just one day

If just one day we heard the things

We used to say so differently

We might not have let our love slip as easily

But a girl like you would not have given it away

You know I miss you now and again

Though I never missed you then

Isn't that the beauty of love?

We forget about everything
