The Reunion Time

The Reunion Time
Words and Music by Billy White, Jr.

Verse 1
When we were young, and still in school, I fell in love with you
A love so deep I could not sleep, there was nothing I could do
But you told me it would never be, although it broke my heart
I told myself it's for the best, and we drifted on apart

Chorus 1
But now it's the reunion time, I still wish that you were mine
Love like this can never die, even when ten years roll by
Here at the reunion time, loving you is on my mind
I hope today I can survive, the reunion time

Verse 2
You went your way, I went mine, our paths would never cross
But often times I would find myself thinking of the love I'd lost
My head told me it's for the best, for our lives were world's apart
But what my mind could not control, was the aching in my heart

Bridge
Aching for you and the way it was back then
But time moves along and we can’t go back again

Chorus 2
Even the reunion time can’t reach out to make you mine
I’ll just have to let love die, now that ten years have gone by
Though here at the reunion time, loving you’s been on my mind
I know that now I can survive, the reunion time

Tag
Yes I know now I will get by
The reunion time
