歌詞
And if I say I really knew you well
What would your answer be?
If you were here today
Ooh ooh ooh, here today
————
Well, knowing you
You'd probably laugh and say
That we were worlds apart
If you were here today
Ooh ooh ooh, here today
————
But as for me, I still
Remember how it was before
And I am holding back the tears no more
Ooh ooh ooh, I love you, ooh
————
What about the time we met?
Well, I suppose that you could say
That we were playing hard to get
Didn't understand a thing
But we could always sing
————
What about the night we cried?
Because there wasn't any reason
Left to keep it all inside
Never understood a word
But you were always there with a smile
————
And if I say I really loved you
And was glad you came along
When you were here today
Ooh ooh ooh, for you were in my song
Ooh ooh ooh, here today
