Who Would Have Known
What happened to the day when I craved your smile?
Innocence flowing like the river into the Nile
Once upon a time I thought you were the one
When my heart skipped a beat and words slipped off my tongue
Those were the days when we strolled through the park
Not caring if the sun slipped into the dark
Days when you stole my heart and made it into new
The days when I craved you
The days when I knew
You were the one
But then it stung
Like the bite of a snake
Who knew my heart you would break?
If I could only take back that day
When my body was at bay
A temple to your throne
Who would have known?
But then it was shown
and then it was known
That your son had taken my body for his own
And as for the thief who slipped away into the night
His father was never known
Nowhere in sight
Innocence flowing like the river into the Nile
Once upon a time I thought you were the one
When my heart skipped a beat and words slipped off my tongue
Those were the days when we strolled through the park
Not caring if the sun slipped into the dark
Days when you stole my heart and made it into new
The days when I craved you
The days when I knew
You were the one
But then it stung
Like the bite of a snake
Who knew my heart you would break?
If I could only take back that day
When my body was at bay
A temple to your throne
Who would have known?
But then it was shown
and then it was known
That your son had taken my body for his own
And as for the thief who slipped away into the night
His father was never known
Nowhere in sight
