HE CALLED IT A LONG SHOT

WHAT DID HE KNOW

HE SAID BABY  

FORGET ME NOT

IT WAS SUCH A SMALL TOWN

HE WAITED FOR HER ALL NIGHT

MAYBE SHE’D COME AROUND

JUST MAYBE SHE’D MAKE IT RIGHT

SHE WAS SO UNTOUCHABLE

A LITTLE SMILE JUST SO

DIDN'T SAY YES RIGHT THEN BUT THEN

SHE DIDN'T SAY NO

NO NO SHE DIDN'T SAY NO

SHE DIDN'T SAY NO

WOULDN'T SAY YES RIGHT THEN

BUT THEN SHE DIDN'T SAY NO

IT WAS SURELY THE HANDS OF FATE

OR MAYBE THE HANDS OF TIME

SHE ACT LIKE SHE DIDN'T CARE

MAYBE HER OWN DESIGN

FORTY YEARS AND ANOTHER A SMALL TOWN

HE HOLDS HER ALL NIGHT

SHE TELLS HIM SHE NEVER CRIES

BUT MAYBE THIS TIME SHE MIGHT

SHE IS STILL JUST SO BEAUTIFUL

A LITTLE SMILE JUST SO

AND WHEN SHE ASKS HIM WHY

HE SAYS YOU DIDN'T SAY NO

NO NO SHE DIDN'T SAY NO

HE CALLED IT

A LONG SHOT

WHAT DID HE KNOW
