Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ooh, I met a little girl, ah, sure was fine
Pretty little thing just about blew my mind
She took me home, and made love to me
I knew right then and there this is where I wanted to be
[Verse 2]
Most of my life I had been all, all alone
And you're so sweet to me, don't think I'll ever roam
And then one day as time will pass
I had this feeling that our love would last
Nothing could go wrong, and it seemed everything I did
Seemed to please you, all the heartaches you hid
[Verse 3]
Then one night after we made it, and we were through
That's when I decided I wanted to marry you
[Verse 4]
Do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife
To have, hold and cherish for the rest of your life?
I do, yes I do, I do, darlin'
('Cause) I love you
[Verse 5]
(1964)
Once you really loved me
Once I really loved you
(1976)
Then time would change you
As time would really change me, oh
[Verse 6]
We thought our love would stand the test of time
And as I sing this song right now, I wonder today
If you're a friend of mine
[Verse 7]
Cry, cry, cry, I have done some crying
Woman, you have caused my tears to flow
Cry, cry, cry, do you cry about me?
Do you think about the kind of love we had?
[Verse 8]
Halle, hallelujah
Hallelu, I'm free
Halle, hallelujah
Hallelu, I'm free
