Far across the room
 Do you remember when Forth Worth
 was in bloom

 You know it wasn't all that long ago
 That we were in the dark
 One touch would light up the
 whole would with a spark

 No one here tonight would guess how
 wrapped up we were

 Once I was the light of your life
 You really made me shine
 Every letter that you sent to me
 Was a valentine
 These days all we've got to say
 Is how you doin, I'm fine
 But once I was the light of your life
 And you were the light of mine

 Maybe the planets didn't line up right
 Maybe the time was wrong
 Maybe forever was a little bit too long

 But still we had about as fine of time
 As two true lovers could
 Before the magic was up and gone for good

 Even though I'm not much more than
 a shadow now

 Once I was the light of your life
 You really made me shine
 Every letter that you sent to me
 Was a valentine
 These days all we've got to say
 Is how you doin, I'm fine
 But once I was the light of your life
 And you were the light of mine
