Then And Now (And Then…) (Song 0252)


This is a fictional story, but may have occurred to other people.  A story with a slightly witty twist at the end.

Verse 1
She said she knew me
But didn’t know my name
She thought we went to the same school
But her face I couldn’t recall.

Pre-Chorus
I didn’t know her then
But I’d like to know her now
I asked her what she thought of me
Then…

Chorus
Then – she liked me
Now – could she be
Come my friend?
Let’s see what happens next.

Verse 2
She said she liked me
But we’d never got to speak
She said she’d have liked to
But never ever managed to.

Pre-Chorus
But now the time had finally come
Contact had been made
Would it come to more than this
Now?

Chorus
Then – she liked me
Now – could she be
Come my friend?
Let’s see what happens next.

Verse 3
We struck a chord
A good combination
Characters of a similar kind
We both spoke our minds.


So I told her straight
That I liked her too
But wasn’t quite sure
What to do
As body language took control
Interest began to grow
My thoughts began to show
Now!

Back then was a shame
But now is a gain
Was I who she thought I was?
I guess it matters not
I like what I’ve got
And she seems happy too…

This was just a sunny spell
Suddenly the rain fell
When I told her my name
I wasn’t who she thought I was
Then..

Chorus
Then – she liked me (not!)
Now – she could be (what?)
Come my friend
Will anything happen next?
