In passing

The girl who once passed me in the hall
The first time we passed
Was at school in the hall
You didn’t know me or see me
And I was not aware of you at all

Perhaps had we met then
Things would not be the same
The dating, the loving
Then you taking my name

Though I’d never go back
For fear of the refrain
Of our love
But I’m curious just the same

If time were turned back
And we passed in the hall
Would we stop and talk
Would we fall in love in the hall

Would we notice each other at all
Or would we both smile
And keep walking
Totally missing the call

Oh love in the wings
One life’s greatest things
For since I first met you
I’ve been unable to forget you
The girl who once passed me in the hall
