The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Were you ever so in love
you couldn't wait to get to sleep and dream
about the one you wish was there beside you
In the past few days I've grown
to love your giggles on the phone
and how we hug so nicely
Chorus:
And from the first time that I saw you
has I known you better then
I would've said those three old words
And from the first time I saw you
had I known you better then
Now I'm gonna move away
another town another crazy day
ooh I want to stay and maybe hang around you
Call it luck
call it fate
call it a shame that we have met so late
and loved so lightly
Chorus:
And from the first time that I saw you
had I known you better then
I would've said those three old words
And from the first time that I saw you
had I known you better then
