lyrics

Sharon wore high top black tennis shoes
with socks that didn’t match
she carried herself in a way that was always her own.
wire rim glasses and long stringy hair
she didn’t fit in, but she didn’t care
she wasn’t a part of the sociable scene
she lived in a world in the space in between…

she liked poetry readings and books about art
it was love at first sight, I knew right from the start.

Walking the hallway all by herself
a flower in her hair
from a distance I’d see her and wish she were mine
she made her own dresses from faded blue jeans
the stars and the stripes were sewn into the seams
she drew little pictures and colored them in
a trail of teasures with pencil and pen…

she saw things around her that I couldn’t see
but I saw the heavens when she looked at me

when you’re young you’ve got nothing to lose
but I once knew a girl in old tennis shoes
I’ve spent a lifetime looking for ‘em,
those black high tops and the girl who wore ‘em
