The one before the one
Gave a moony girl the sun
Generously shared his fun
Guaranteed love wasn’t won
The one before the one
Was her heart’s due break from Lent
Never asked her to repent
Never took more than he spent
The one before the one
Shared with her his true confessions
Showed her love was not possession
Or the subject of obsession
The one before the one
Proposed that she give up her bluffs
Promised her when life got tough
She was still more than enough
The one before the one
Was one of the great’s she’ll ever know
But planted other seeds to grow
And so it just goes to show
When he was to and she was fro
When he was high and she was low
When he was re and she was do
When he was stop and she was go
When the sun was high and day was done
Something was lost, and something won
The woman she’d never have become
Without —
