How it all Began
 
Thinking back to long ago
How it all began I don't know
I was young and you were older
I was shy but you were bolder
But you know if I had the chance I'd do it all again
Like a first romance you felt so good.
 
How it all began (it's a mystery to me)
How it all began
Now I'm a different man (and I don't fool easily)
Wonder how it all began?
 
We went for walks and we talked for hours
Loved together in stormy showers
Went as far as we thought we could
I wonder now if we really should?
Yes you know if I had the chance I'd do it all again
Like a first romance you felt so good.
 
How it all began (it's a mystery to me)
How it all began
Now I'm a different man (and I don't fool easily)
Wonder how it all began?
 
It never really should've been
'Cause you were someone else's dream
What we had then now is lost
And it's me who counts the cost.
But you know if I had the chance I'd do it all again
Like a first romance you felt so good.
