Was this the girl who caught my eye Three lockers down from mine Who floated through the schoolyard lines And taught the Sun to shine Was I the boy who sang his dreams While thinking just of you A shadow in the moonlight night On Belmont Avenue Whoah, were we the pair who danced alone Upon the rooftop high The Moon glows on the radio Beneath the diamond sky If I knew all the answers I'd win the Nobel prize But I'm content to know they lie behind Susan's eyes Behind Susan's eyes And wasn't I the rebel king Turning wild 17 While you saw through my fantasies A neighborhood saw James Dean Was this the girl who laughed at me But finally wore my ring Who really voiced the soft complaint And anchored everything Oh, didn't we just run away Through all the fields of gold Where we could stay forever young We never would grow old Never would grow old Oh, if I knew all the answers I'd win the Nobel prize But I'm content to know they lie behind Susan's eyes Behind Susan's eyes Was I the man who broke your heart In 10, 000 little ways With all the pain in the passing years And the sleepless nights and days But didn't all those years sail by With laughter and some tears Those newborn fingers holding ours Among our souvenirs If I knew all the answers I'd win the Nobel prize But I'm content to know they lie behind Susan's eyes Behind Susan's eyes Weren't tiny feet upon the sand A blend of you and me Young barefoot strangers on the beach In living fantasy Well, isn't life an endless song Just slightly out of rhyme And didn't you play every note That echoed down through time Oh, weren't we just a storybook Whoah, much more than we seemed I think I'd thank the lord above Who gave me all our dreams Who gave me all our dreams Gave me all our dreams Was this the girl who caught my eye Was this the girl who caught my eye
