Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And if I said I really knew you well
What would your answer be
If you were here today?
Ooh-ooh-ooh, here today
[Verse 2]
Well, knowing you
You'd probably laugh and say that we were worlds apart
If you were here today
Ooh-ooh-ooh, here today
[Bridge]
But as for me, I still remember how it was before
And I am holding back the tears no more
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I love you
Ooh
[Bridge]
What about the time we met? (What about the time we met?)
Well, I suppose that you could say that we were playing hard to get
Didn't understand a thing, but we could always sing
[Bridge]
What about the night we cried? (What about the night we cried?)
Because there wasn't any reason left to keep it all inside
Never understood a word
But you were always there with a smile
[Outro]
And if I say I really loved you and was glad you came along
Then you were here today
Ooh-ooh-ooh for you were in my song
Ooh-ooh-ooh, here today
