Sweet Allie Lyrics

With a face like hers and a smile so anti-serious

Her teachers always told her she would make one man very proud

Yet, she calls me nightly just to bridge the 200 miles between us

Even though she knows we were always in two different crowds

It took one word to make her laugh

It took two words to make her cry

And I'd drive for hours to revive her flowers

Or see them one last time before I say goodbye

How could you think I would've forgotten about you, sweet Allie

We were closer than two friends, strung together like pearls at a party

Pouring out our delight and our insight into just our bodies

How could you think I would've forgotten about you

She is chasing me and I am chasing the long road

If you look into the distance you can see the land I'm trying to follow

Out of every window I see the sky, I'm never lost

I can see the view just fine but her thoughts, they strike me like arrows

It took one word to make her see

That the next two words would hurt me

And I'll drive on down to her German town

To unchain her love and set it free

How could you think I would've forgotten about you, sweet Allie

We were closer than two friends, strung together like pearls at a party

Pouring out our delight and our insight into just our bodies

How could you think I would've forgotten about you, sweet Allie

It took one word to make her laugh

It took two words to make her cry

And I'd drive for hours to revive her flowers

Or see them one last time before I say goodbye

How could you think I would've forgotten about you, sweet Allie

We were closer than two friends, strung together like pearls at a party

Pouring out our delight and our insights into just our bodies

How could you think I would've ever forgotten about you, sweet Allie
