Lyrics

After many years, I came back to my hometown
Mom needed help now that dad's not around
Last night I ran into an old college friend
Didn't know he'd moved here, what a strange coincidence

We talked for a while about our days back in school
The times we'd been through, the people that we knew
Then up came a woman, someone I recognized
My friend said, hey man, let me introduce my wife

A simple hello was all I said
While these words played inside my head

I'll bet you don't remember me, but I remember you
We were just kids
When we danced that whole night through
I've never told anybody this
But that night you gave me my first kiss

We met at a dance, we were both just 14
She was the prettiest girl I'd ever seen
She came up and took me by the hand
To a righteous brothers song, we started to slow dance

She held me so close I could feel her breath
As her head rested softly, softly on my chest
She raised her lips as we swayed to the band
That was the first kiss, the first kiss I ever had

I tried to call her time and time again
Till someone said she had a new boyfriend

I'll bet you don't remember me, but i remember you
We were just kids
When we danced that whole night through
I've never told anybody this
But that night you gave me my first kiss

My friend said, “hey man, how long you stickin' round?
Meet us for dinner friday night downtown
I said i'm sorry but tomorrow I'm headed home
My aunt said she'd help out my mom when i'm gone

We said our goodbyes as I walked them to their car
My friend got in and I held the door for her
She turned to me before getting inside
Then she said these words with a great big smile

I'll bet you don't remember me, but I remember you
We were just kids
When we danced that whole night through
I've never told anybody this
But that night you gave me my first kiss

I'll bet you don't remember me, but I remember you
