Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Was a May full moon
We parked the car
And I sang you a song
I wrote on my guitar
[Verse 2]
Oh, I have kissed
Many times since then
But that first one is special
One you don't forget
[Verse 3]
If I had asked you then
You'd probably took my ring
But time and distance have a way
Of changing things
[Verse 4]
And sometimes I wonder
What it would have been like
If we had wandered
The same path in life
Tonight, if you're out there
Looking up at the same moon
Girl, I hope
That your trail in life
Has been good to you
[Verse 5]
College days
Frat house nights
You were more than just a bunch
Of rowdy friends of mine
[Verse 6]
You made leaving home
Not as hard to bare
Yeah, we swore we'd stick together
Till we were in rocking chairs
[Verse 7]
But we all kind of scattered
Getting our lives in gear
The phones calls went from weeks to months
To I ain't heard in years
[Verse 8]
And sometimes I wonder
What it would have been like
If we had wandered
The same path in life
Would we still smoke cigars?
Yeah, when the Wildcats beat OU
Friend, I hope
That your trail in life
Has been good to you
[Verse 9]
The day I was born
They said you cried
When you signed those papers
And kissed me goodbye
[Verse 10]
To young to know
How to raise me up
So you let me go
And start this world in a house of love
[Verse 11]
I was 12 years old
When Daddy sat me down
And told me of a brave young girl
That I should know about
[Verse 12]
And sometimes I wonder
What it would have been like
If we had wandered
The same path in life
I think I'd make you proud
Of the boy you never knew
And, God, I hope
That your trail in life
Has been good to you
[Verse 13]
And someday, I know
This old trail in life
Will wind back to you
