Julia

Here's a song I sing for you

About a girl that I once knew, Julia

She lived in a great big house

With golden gates where servants bowed for Julia

Unashamed I'd sit outside and wait for hours

Hoping that she'd climb down from her ivory towers

This beautiful girl as pretty as any flower

Had a hold on me

Upstairs in my lonely room

I would dream of being cool with Julia

I lived in obsessive bliss

Carefully planning my first kiss of Julia

One day I was feeling awfully brave and asked her

If she'd like to come out on a date, I just had to

She bent down and gently kissed my face

And said, "Oh, someday"

Oh my God, how I loved this girl

But no one ever said that love could burn

Waiting by the phone for days

For a call that never came from Julia

But love is cruel and has no wings

But I still hear angels sing for my Julia

I remember being overwhelmed by her prettiness

If only she would look my way I might be in business

To tell the truth she didn't even know I existed, Julia

Summer took her pretty clothes

Winter came in grey and snow, oh Julia

And I found out she'd moved away

Her best friend said to the north country, Julia

Now all this happened many years ago, my friend

Regrettably there is no happy end, oh no

She was 14, I was only 10, oh my Julia
