Maria Gillard

Lyrics

We were just climbin’ the apple tree
Drawing with sticks in the sand
We were just jumpin’ on the trampoline
Suddenly we’re 17
Watching Hank Aaron’s home run
Break that record of Babe’s
That Mark Spitz blitz in ‘72
We were tryin’ so hard to be brave

CHORUS:
How did we get here so quickly
Seems like yesterday
We were runnin’ around our old hometown
Dreamin’ our days away

We were just singing in Varsity choir
Studying Spanish and French
Doing Chemistry homework on the telephone
You were secretly in love with Johnny Bench
Co-Captains on the High School team
Coach Kaler was our hero then
You swam the relay and I had to dive
Suddenly we’re 35

CHORUS

Bridge: You had a boy and a girl
They turned out so fine
I went traveling around the world
Suddenly we’re 49

I visited you this summer
We laughed just like we were 10
Seeing our mother’s looking back in the mirror
JUST HOW DID WE GET HERE

CHORUS
