I Got By In Time

Saw a girl that I used to know
 I was deep in thought at the time
 Don't recognise the face at first
 'Cause I was probably looking at mine
 Well she was the only girl I've ever loved
 But my folks didn't dig her so much
 I was young
 It was serious
 To me she was the world (she was my world now)
 I thought I'd never live without her,
 But I got by in time
 Well let me tell you now,
 Saw a guy that I used to know
 Man he'd changed so much
 I think it hurt him to say 'hello',
 'Cause he hardly opened his mouth
 Yeah well he was my best friend a few years ago
 Truly inseperable
 We were young
 and full of ideals
 We were gonna rule this whole world
 But something happened
 I didn't know why
 But that's the way that it goes.
 I suppose,
 What you say - what you do
 Don't mean nothing, nothing at all
 And all the bonds you make between ya
 Can be broken any time you want now
 Please tell me if my philosophy's wrong
 I've got to know the truth
 I don't mean to offend anyone but,
 You know it's something that I do, oh-
 So nice to see you tonight,
 And I'm so glad that you came
 Some of the people standing outside, say
 Sure feel the same
 Yeah my point is in a round about way
 Given time he'll always forget
 'Cos the memories
 That are shouting me on
 To me everything (you're everything now)
 And it always will be mine, yeah
 And no one can take them away
