To M.G. (Wherever She May Be) Lyrics

I was watching a movie, the other night on TV
The actress reminded me of you
Her attitude, the way that she smiled
She was doin' a part girl, like you used to doI do believe you played it better
If it wasn't better, it was just as strong
I would've called you up on the telephone that night
But somehow girl, it'd been all wrongI heard you married a stranger
In a horse and carriage that was covered with gold
Well, you wanted to be different and still fit in
I wonder if you feel different at all now that you're olderHope you didn't lose that innocent laughter
Oh, God I hope time didn't take that away
All those junior high nights underneath the front porch light
A good Catholic girl during the dayOh oh oh, just watching the time grow
Old enough to know that these memories can't hurt a thing
Oh oh oh, just watching the time grow
If I saw you today, girl, I wouldn't even know yaWell, I know it wasn't that big of a love affair
But boy, it sure seemed like one back then
When I parlay the memories into their proper places

I can see now, we were no more than friendsOoh, your kisses sure tasted sweet
But I guess any kiss tastes sweet at fifteen
I just hope your touch is as warm to your ol' man
As it seemed like it was to meOh oh oh, just watching the time grow
Old enough to know that these memories can't hurt a thing
Oh oh oh, just watching the time grow
If I saw you today, girl, if I could be with you today
I wouldn't even know ya
