Did I Tell You
Lyrics: Philip Paulson
Arrangement: Johnny and the Boomers
I remember when I met you
When I first saw you standing there
Your backpack was hanging on your shoulder
The wind was blowing through your hair
We're on our own together baby
Our lives beginning to unfold
As we search for friends among the strangers
We're all searching for someone to hold
Did I tell you that I loved you baby
Did I tell you that I cared
Its love that brings us all together
Its love that keeps us from despair
It was a day to send roses
Red cards and wine and sweet things too
I thought I'd take you out dancing
And hold your hand when we were through
But no one told me that a stranger
Would try to take you from us all
Did I tell you that I loved you
When I left you at the hall
Did I tell you that I loved you baby
Did I tell you that I cared
Its love that brings us all together
Its love that keeps us from despair
I remember when I met you
When I first saw you standing there
Your backpack hanging on your shoulder
The wind was blowing through your hair
But no one told me that a stranger
Would try to take you from us all
Did I tell you that I loved you
When I left you at the hall
Then somebody screamed above the gunshots
I didn't know what I should do
Why won't you answer when I'm calling
I've got to find my way to you
Did I tell you that I loved you
Oh mercy, mercy, mercy me
