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've 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 everyday.
For my conscience
Couldn't live with all that shame.
Now she's growing colder
Since the day i told her.
And the love we had
Will never be the same.

I should've 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.
