It Took All of History

(Jim Melko& John Bontempi)

 

The teacher wasn't teaching, he just read from the book

He would have seen the whole class sleeping if hed ever looked

But my eyes were wide open, gazing at your hair

Imagining the history we both would someday share

Chorus

If Rome hadn't fallen, if Columbus hadn't sailed

If the South hadn't risen and the Northern states prevailed

Then would you have sat in front of me in History 109?

It took all of history just to make you mine

I'd ask you for a pencil, then forget to give it back

That didn't get your attention, so I tried a different tack

I'd call you in the evenings and ask you for your notes

'Cause "I'll love you forever" was the only thing I wrote

Repeat Chorus

Bridge

I said "I don't have notes on D-Day, I wondered if you had a date"

You said "I didn't think you'd ever ask, you can pick me up at eight"

Well now that class is history or maybe it was fate

'Cause sometimes when I'm holding you, I like to speculate…

Repeat Chorus
