Sweet Allie Video (MV)

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
