Lyrics
I remember when I first realized
That we were more than friends
That night outside of Disneyland
When we started to hold hands
I recall the warmth of our first kiss
We were both surprised
At the way the world just opened up
When I looked into your eyes
Oh Susannah, I really did love you
Even though I had to leave you
To get back on the road
I remember the night I said goodbye
I felt like such a fool
But I had to keep on traveling
And you said you understood
Oh Susannah, I really did love you
Even though I had to leave you
To get back on the road
Now I can look back on us
From the vantage point of time
And treasure those bright days and weeks
When the world was yours and mine
Oh Susannah, I really did love you
Even though I had to leave you
To get back on the road
Oh Susannah, I really did love you
In wiser retrospect perhaps
I never should have gone
Oh Susannah, don't you cry, you see
I will always be a part of you
And you, a part of me
