Lyrics
ItÃ?Â?Ã?Â?s been seven long years since the big world stole you away
But it seems like a lifetime IÃ?Â?Ã?Â?ve been waitinÃ?Â?Ã?Â? for this day
Tell me how youÃ?Â?Ã?Â?ve been, tell me what youÃ?Â?Ã?Â?ve done
Tell me everything and anything IÃ?Â?Ã?Â?d listen Ã?Â?Ã?Â?til the sun comes up
So you met someone, and he broke your heart
Baby now I guess IÃ?Â?Ã?Â?d be that one to say I knew it from the start
But IÃ?Â?Ã?Â?ll play the part
For my high school sweetheart
Little has changed since the big world stole you away
IÃ?Â?Ã?Â?m still workinÃ?Â?Ã?Â? at the yard, got a raise just the other day
And itÃ?Â?Ã?Â?s all the same Ã?Â?Ã?Â?cause it donÃ?Â?Ã?Â?t mean much
When IÃ?Â?Ã?Â?m driving down the boulevard
And thinking Ã?Â?Ã?Â?bout when we first touched
Or I pass the spot where we used to park
You talked about the things weÃ?Â?Ã?Â?d do and how weÃ?Â?Ã?Â?d never be apart
Yeah I played the part
For my high school sweetheart
But you had dreams of leavinÃ?Â?Ã?Â? this town
Since you were a little girl
Yeah you just had to see what goes on
Somewhere halfway Ã?Â?Ã?Â?round the world
So many times I look up in the sky pick a star and think of you
WonderinÃ?Â?Ã?Â? where you are if youÃ?Â?Ã?Â?re lookinÃ?Â?Ã?Â? at the same one, too
And now here you stand with your hand in mine
Your face, your eyes, your hair, your smile
Are turninÃ?Â?Ã?Â? back the hands of time
ItÃ?Â?Ã?Â?s like weÃ?Â?Ã?Â?re at the spot where we used to park
YouÃ?Â?Ã?Â?re talking Ã?Â?Ã?Â?bout the things weÃ?Â?Ã?Â?ll do
And how weÃ?Â?Ã?Â?ll never be apart
And I still play the part
For my high school sweetheart
For my high school sweetheart
Oh wonÃ?Â?Ã?Â?t you be my high school sweetheart, again?
