i once had a love a true and lasting love but the fool in me came out one night and with her loving eyes she saw right through my eyes and she changed the night i stepped across the line i should have watched that first step it was a mighty big step when i started stepping out of line though she s still loving me it s not the way it used to be that first step did something to her mind i watched her slip away a little more every day and my conscience couldn t live with all that pain she s growing colder since the day i told her and the love we had will never be the same i should have watched that first step it was a mighty big step when i started stepping out of line though she s still loving me it s not the way it used to be that first step did something to her mind
