Verse 1:         I thought I knew the way my life was heading,

Then I learned about you from a friend.

                        Soon I knew there’d be talk of a wedding,

                        But I learned it wasn’t time you really planned to spend.

 

Chorus:           Once I knew the answers to all questions,

Once I knew where everything was at.

Then I learned I’d have to live without you,

            Now I have to learn to live with that.

 

 

Verse 2:         At times I knew of ways to keep you near me,

                        Though I learned you liked to say good-bye.

                        Still I knew you cherished our few memories,

                        But I learned you’d run if I should ask for one more try.

 

 (Repeat chorus)

 

 

Bridge:           I knew you’d need to party so I let you,

                        Then I learned you’d parted from the scene.

                        But I knew there’s no way I’d forget you,

                        Now if only I could learn to ban you from my dreams.

 

(Repeat chorus)
