You Are Still the Top

I met you on Franklin Street
A couple kids inside the big city
Smoking heaters in the back alley
I even made you cry once

Andrew's Diner for lunch each day
Walking the river till our worries fade
Chet Baker on an old cassette
Singing lets get lost

You moved away
I stayed behind

I was in love but I didn't want to say it
You were the girl who walked through walls
And there were times I thought you might be too
But the timing was just off

Now we don't have to hold back
And darling I just love that
We got forever after all

We were both married
We both had children
How could it all work
Who were we kidding

I stopped listen to all those songs
And leaving messages on your machine
Was too painful to keep in touch
It only brought me to what could have been

15 years passed
I saw your name
I wrote you, you wrote back
everything felt the same

I fell in love but I didn't wanna say it
To the girl who walked through walls
And there were times I thought she might be too
But we were too afraid to fall

Now we don't have to hold back
And darling I just love that
You're my forever after all

We met up in Chicago
In the hot sun by the lake
I took a picture just in case
it was the last time we did this

I was in love and I finally could say it
To the girl who walked through walls
And at the moment you said you were too
I heard wedding bells call

And we don't have to hold back
Darling I just love that
And in case you're wondering
You are still the top
