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.
Fresh like the kiss of morning dew
That's how it felt that day we met
And I first laid eyes on you (yeah)
It's like you walked right about my fantasy
And then you left that day
Girl why, did you abandon me
Baby you'll see when you
And I wonder if you'll ever find out how it was supposed to be, baby
Said I wonder if you'll ever find out how it was supposed to be, baby
Now when I think back to the days you were mine
Oh how I wish I can flip a switch to turn back the hands of time (oh baby)
You were the one that made me real
Now that you're gone tell me what in the world am I suppose to feel.
Without you here with me
And I wonder if you'll ever find out how it was supposed to be baby
Said I wonder if you'll ever find out how it was supposed to be baby
Listen
Something tells me I've been robbed
Of the love I felt that you should have given
Never thought you'd leave me on my own
But I see that it's over
And I hope one day you're mine
And I wonder if you'll ever find out how it was supposed to be baby
Said I wonder if you'll ever find out how it was supposed to be baby
And I wonder if you'll ever find out how it was supposed to be baby
Said I wonder if you'll ever find out how it was supposed to be baby(yeah)
