about

Written by Greg Troyan

lyrics

Went to the movies
Saw an old black and white film
There I saw a beauty
A girl that could break my will
When I saw her I was thunderstruck
And I cursed the hand of fate
Anachronisms have no luck
When they're a few decades late

Oh how I wish she were mine
But I was born out of time
Oh how I really wish she were my girl
It's not meant to be
But that ain't stoppin' me
Ooh, I love you Merle

[Guitar Solo]

I know that she's the only girl that I'll ever truly love
If I could give her the stars and the moon
It still wouldn't be enough
I'd give her everything I have to give
And then I'd give it again
Just to prove my love for her
Would never truly end

And I know
That our love can never be
And I know
That I'm at the brink of insanity
And I know
That I love her just the same
Just the same
Just the same

Oh how I wish she were mine
But I was born out of time
Oh how I really wish she were my girl
It's not meant to be
But that ain't stoppin' me
Ooh, I love you Merle

I really wanna make her smile
And I really wanna make her laugh
I wanna dry all her tears for her
And make all her sorrow pass
I wanna hold her in my arms
Through every day and every night
I want to save her from all of her demons
And make all of her wrongs right

And I know
That our love can never be
And I know
That I'm at the brink of insanity
And I know
That I love her just the same
Just the same
Just the same

Oh how I wish she were mine
But I was born out of time
Oh how I really wish she were my girl
It's not meant to be
But that ain't stoppin' me
Ooh, I love you Merle

Oh, Merle
I really love you girl
But do you know me
Do you know me at all?
Did you feel
My love through time
Was my existence
Ever on your mind?

Did you know
That I would feel this way?
Did you know
That I would go through all this pain?
Did you know
That I'd love you just the same
Just the same
Just the same

[Guitar Solo]

Yeah Merle
I really love ya
I can't live without ya
Oh yeah
Alright
I'm gonna give you everything I have to give girl
Because you're the only one for me
You are the love of my life
Merle
I love ya

I don't care if it's impossible
Or if they say I'm a fool
If I'm nothing but a fool in love
Then girl I'm a fool for you
I'm gonna reach you if I have to cross
All of the sands of time
And I won't ever stop loving you
Even after I die

And I know
That I'm in love with you
And I know
That there's nothing at all I can do
And I know
That I want you to be mine
And I ain't giving up
I'm gonna make you mine

Oh how I wish she were mine
But I was born out of time
Oh how I really wish she were my girl
It's not meant to be
But that ain't stoppin' me
Ooh, I love you Merle
Ooh, I love you Merle
Ooh, I love you Merle
Ooh, I love you Merle
