I once had a love
A true and lasting love
But the fool in me
Came out one night
And with her loving eyes
She saw right through my lies
And she changed the night
I stepped across the line
I should have watched that first step
It was a mighty big step
When I
Started stepping out of line
Though she's still loving me
It's not the way it used to be
That first step
Did something to her mind
I watched her slip away
A little more every day
Before my conscience
Couldn't live with all the shame
And she's growing colder
Since the day I told her
And the love we had
Will never be the same
I should have watched that first step
It was a mighty big step
When I
Started stepping out of line
Though she's still loving me
It's not the way it used to be
That first step
Did something to her mind
That first step
Did something to her mind
