A Girl I Used to Know Lyrics by Danny Wilson

Meet Danny Wilson

1987

I remember clearly that the girl I used to know
Was only half as wise
Although it hurts to hear me say the girl I used to know
Was only half as wise, but twice as nice
I know it's wrong to dwell upon
The what we are and what we used to be
I remember feeling like
The sky would crack and crumble to the sea
The precious time we had will never be forgotten
But every girl has to grow up to be a woman
It's just that for a second
I recognized a girl I used to know
I remember praying that the madness in your eyes
Would surely fade away
I remember saying that the world was yours and mine
To deal with any way
Any way we wanted
We could lock the moon and throw away the key
I remember feeling like
The sky would crack and crumble to the sea
The precious time we had will never be forgotten
But every girl has to grow up to be a woman
It's just that for a second
I recognized a girl I used to know
Huh, two, three, four
Although I know it's wrong
To dwell upon the what we are and used to be
I remember feeling like
The sky would crack and crumble to the sea
The precious time we had will never be forgotten
But every girl has to grow up to be a woman
It's just that for a second
I recognized a girl I used to know
