Nostalgia (The Day I Knew) - Samara Joy

Nostalgia hit me as I recall the day

I knew that I loved you

You passed me by on a starry night

How could I forget you were stunning

A vision of perfection heaven's very essence

That you were a shining star to me

The way you smiled was a work of

Art you wouldn't believe how it thrilled me

We used to talk on the phone 'til three

It made my mother so angry

And when we shared our first dance

Underneath the moon and starlit sky

I knew that you were mine

I figured after all this time and

All these years together all the memories fade

That you would be tired by now

It should have grown dull or stagnant

But with each passing day there's never

A moment I regret saying hello miss

How you doin' I would like to know you

You brushed me off immediately gave me

The coldest shoulder I've ever received

Which made me want to get to know you even more

That's when I ran into you at the bookstore

Your hair pinned back while listening to music

I said fats make your move now before

It's too late don't let her get away be brave

And then I said

Darlin' if you'll just give me a chance

I'll treat you like a queen

My whole world is yours

That was fifty years ago today

Despite the ups and downs

I wouldn't change a thing

It's hard to think of my

Life without you

I don't think I'd make it

You're my anchor through

Every storm that's ever come my way

And I'm not just talkin'

I mean what I say

If you don't believe me I'll

Just have to spend the rest of my entire life

Showing how much you mean to me

I'll sing I'll dance

I'll shout it from the highest mountaintop

All this to say that

I'm still so in love with you

Nostalgia hit me as I recall

The day I knew that I loved you

And now the feelings are just

As strong as when I first laid eyes on you

A vision of perfection

Heaven's very essence

I believe you're all I'll ever need

Long as I live I'll

Love you for all eternity

And I'm so glad you chose me
