Someday she'll think back

When I was twelve, there was Carol, a love of the puppy type
we didn't know what we were doing and it was filled with hype
There was kissing and hugging that was just a game by two young souls lost on a raft
maybe someday she'll think way back in her mind and have a good laugh

When I was fourteen, there was Barbara, the one that got away

I was busy with other things, I had other games to play
I was coming, she was going, and at fourteen there were other things that had me on the prowl
maybe sometime in her life she'll go back to that place for awhile

When I was fifteen, there was Jewel that I had to travel to see
after a few trips, I found it was my cousin she wanted, so it wasn't meant to be
I got the news in a letter of the Dear John kind
maybe from time to time she will stop and think back and I'll be there on her mind

When I was seventeen, there was Elaine, a love that I knew was my soul-mate
but after coming back from the war, well I just got there too late
Sometimes we are in love but it's not what it seems
I hope at night, when she closes her eyes to sleep, that sometimes I'll be in her dreams

When I was nineteen, there was candy, my sweet Seattle romance
I was in the navy and met her quite by chance
When I got out of the navy, I went home and for us that was the end
maybe there will be a moment in time when she will think back and remember she had a friend

When I was twenty-one there was Georgia and things went too fast
before I knew it I was married, but without true love, things didn't last
I know things didn't go so well, I know things ended kinda bad
I hope that when she thinks back on this part of her life she won't be too sad

When I was twenty-three, my soul-mate Elaine and I crossed paths on the road of life
things were different now, I was different, she was different and I still had a wife
Maybe someday we'll meet again on that road from the past
maybe someday she'll think back and wonder why a love so deep couldn't last

When I was thirty-three, I met Deborah, wife number two
it seemed like this time I had found a love that was true
At first we were so glad, but now it seems like we're always so mad
maybe someday after I'm gone, she'll think back about the good times and not the bad

There have been many women that I've known over the years in my life
there was family, those that were my friends, I had lovers and some were my wife
There was those that I knew for many years, some for a short time and a few for just a little while From time to time maybe they will think back of me and smile
