"I Wish I Was A Girl Like You" lyrics

"I Wish I Was A Girl Like You"

You know I miss you now and again
Though I never missed you then
Isn't that the beauty of love?
We forget about everything
There was a time we could have come back
Got over what it was we lacked
Do what everybody else does
Made a deal, not made a fuss
All the things we wish we could have done
But we haven't done yet
On the tribulation of regret

Sometimes I wish I was a girl like you for just one day
If just one day we heard the things
We used to say so differently
So differently we might not have let our love slip as easily
But a girl like you would not have given it away

There was a time you were the May queen
When all around our world was mantled green
We fell for the beauty of love
Or so now that's how it seems
Where every lad and every lass went
We only followed the romance
Despite never quite knowing
We made up our own dance
All the time we seemed to have then
We're only envious of now
We'd like to go back but we don't know how

Sometimes I wish I was a girl like you for just one day
If just one day we heard the things
We used to say so differently
We might not have let our love slip as easily
But a girl like you would not have given it away

Sometimes I wish I was a girl like you for just one day
If just one day we heard the things
We used to say so differently
We might not have let our love slip as easily
But a girl like you would not have given it away

You know I miss you now and again
Though I never missed you then
Isn't that the beauty of love?
We forget about everything
