It started in France
Where life was a dream
And we never thought we'd wake
I gave you my love
And so did the world
But who knew the path to take
Doc was in the building and
Looking so alive
I followed him down south
But couldn't shake my pride
I came back to meet you
I thought we'd won the race
With all my bridges ashen
And my dreams replaced
Now when I get down
I'll think about how
We almost had everything
But you were all I wanted
I thought you'd marry me
We went through some hard times
Money was tight
But you always made me smile
I worked for our future
Making my plans
With God laughing all the while
I remember clearly
You called me on the phone
And told me you were
Leaving for a warmer home
Then when you arrived there
The dream of France revived
I hope you live your fantasy
For all your life
Now when I get down
I'll think about how
We almost had everything
But you were all I wanted
You were all I wanted
Baby, you were all I wanted
I thought you'd marry me
Now when I get down
I'll think about how
We almost had everything
But you were all I wanted
You were all I wanted
Baby, you were all I wanted
I thought you'd marry me
