Gregory

Ninth grade hallway, the morning bell would ring

Like clockwork, you were waiting, my steady everything

I’d look through the window of the classroom door

And see the boy that I was falling for

You were so protective, compassionate and kind

A gentle, grateful heart I was so lucky to find

Now we are grown, but the feeling remains

We stayed good friends through the joy and the pain

Life brought us back, and the universe knew

I’d get a second chance to look right at you

Let’s hold our hands like we did back then

And see if we can find this love again

My teacher would smile and call out my name

"Fannie, your knight in shining armor came"

You’d walk me to class, carrying books in your hand

A hardworking boy who would always understand

I'm so thankful for the way you kept me safe

A high school sweetheart time could never erase

Now we are grown, but the feeling remains

We stayed good friends through the joy and the pain

Life brought us back, and the universe knew

I’d get a second chance to look right at you

Let’s hold our hands like we did back then

And see if we can find this love again

I still remember that night at my place

Sitting on your lap, just studying your face

Looking in your eyes, feeling something so true

When you started singing "Concentrate On You"

I never forgot that moment in time

And now I’m wondering if you could be mine

Gregory, we're grown, but the feeling remains

We stayed good friends through the joy and the pain

Life brought us back, and the universe knew

I’d get a second chance to look right at you

Let’s hold our hands like we did back then

And see if we can find this love again
