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 eyes, 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 steppin' out of line. Though she's still lovin' 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 And my conscience couldn't live with all that pain. 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 steppin' out of line. Though she's still lovin' me it's not the way it used to be That first step did something to her mind
