A Memory

20 years have past
Since we both locked eyes with each other
We were in that math class
I asked you if you'd done your homework
Do you remember?

You knew what I really wanted
And asked me out to lunch
That is all it took from you
That was the day we first met
What a beautiful memory
Of us being young
So full of hopes and dreams

Can you forgive me
Now that I've blessed you
All the pain that we caused each other
All the things that I put you through
We were so young back then
Stupid and foolish too
You fell in love with me
I fell in lust with you
Can you forgive me
Now that I've blessed you
All the pain that we caused each other
All the things that I put you through

We played house so young
I tried to be a good wife
Did my best to support you
And all of your dreams too
But it takes more than that
To build up a happy home
As you said when you left that day
It takes more than love alone

We were so young back then
So foolish too
To think that I could change you
And that you could change me too
So much time has past
Without a word or two
Can you forgive me
I know I've forgiven you
Now that I've blessed you
Can you do the same
Now that I've forgiven you
Can we make an exchange

We were so young back then
Stupid and foolish too
You fell in love with me
I fell in lust with you
Can you forgive me
Now that I've blessed you
All the pain that we caused each other
All the things that I put you through

Oh so long ago
We were young
Didn't know anything
I thought that I loved you
I was really fooling myself
I thought that I could care for you
But you found that in someone else
You caused me so much pain
But so did I in you
I was too young back then
To know what you needed from me
And how to raise a family

Where has the time gone too?
I hope you know I pray for you
Even as I write this song
I wonder where the years have gone
I learned to love from you
The right and the wrong things to do
How to truly be myself
And give love to someone else
You released me
Like a caged bird and set me free
At that point I didn't know
What I was supposed to do
But time has past for us both
And I hope to bless you

Can you forgive me
Now that I've blessed you
All the pain that we caused each other
All the things that I put you through
We were so young back then
Stupid and foolish too
You fell in love with me
I fell in lust with you
Can you forgive me
Now that I've blessed you
All the pain that we caused each other
All the things that I put you through

I hope your doing well
And you found God again
It's the only reason that I write this song
And can make amends
We were so young back then
Didn't know the right things to do
We were so foolish and young
And got married too
We are older now
Had some reflection too
Sorry that I've hurt you so
And hoping that you'll let that pain go

I promise I don't want you
Just to live a good life
I pray for your family
And for your new wife
Can we forgive each other
For the hurts and pains of the past
Now that we have moved on
Can we put the past in the past
Now that I've blessed you
Can you forgive me
All the pain that we caused each other
And how we hurt our families

I hope and pray at night
That we see each other
Have peace with each other,
And to love one another
