Lovers In Love
By Ron Tintner & Patricia T. Bishop ?2009

V1
It's been over ten years since I walked in this little cafe
Where Mary and I held hands after school every day
Nothing has changed
The pictures, the juke box, the games
And that cute little booth made for two is still over there

Chorus
We were lovers in love; lovers in love
A boy and a girl not a care in the world
A future that promised us joy
We were lovers in love; lovers in love

V2
Though we were young, we knew our love wasn't wrong
But our parents found out and they just wouldn't leave us alone
They said we were two foolish kids
And we'd come to regret what we did
I knew we were through when my folks sent me away

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Last night from out of nowhere
Her Dad's voice on my phone:
"There's been an accident...
Mary's gone"

V3
My eyes are locked on the door as her parents walk in
With a pretty blonde girl not a day older than ten
I look at the glow of her face
And I can see Mary's sweet grace
Then I smile with surprise; her eyes look like mine

Repeat Chorus (2x)
