Henry's Songbook

Chorus:
I thought I was swinging the world by the tail
I thought I could never be blue
I thought I'd been kissed and I thought I'd been loved
But that was before I met you

I thought I had seen pretty girls in my time
But that was before I met you
I never saw one that I wanted for mine
But that was before I met you

I wanted to ramble and always be free
But that was before I met you
I said that no woman could ever hold me
But that was before I met you

They tell me a man's got to reap what he sows
Darling, I hope it's not true
Because once I made plans about living alone
But that was before I met you

As sung by The Islanders
