[Verse 1]
I still remember how I fell for you
There wasn't one thing I would not do
I still recall the love in your eyes
Blue like the sky on a clear sunrise
[Chorus]
And it was real at the time
Real at the time
I was yours, you were mine
It was real at the time
[Verse 2]
You were a lioness tall and lean
You were the best thing I'd ever seen
I heard a loneliness in your voice
I charged ahead, I had no choice
[Chorus]
'Cause it felt real at the time
Real at the time
Like a mountain you climb
It felt real at the time
[Bridge]
And babe you meant so much to me
I never will forget your face
I never will forget those nights
Those nights
Those nights (Oh)
[Verse 3]
Lost in the pettiness and the fights
Lost in the battle for bragging rights
We were a couple of kindred souls
Fighting for childish things like control
[Chorus]
But it was real at the time
Real at the time
Like the scene of a crime
It was real at the time
It was real at the time
I was yours, you were mine
We got way out of line
But it was real at the time (Whoa)
[Outro]
Real at the time
Real at the time (Oh)
Like a mountain you climb
It was real at the time
It was real at the time
Real at the time
I was yours, you were mine
It was real at the time (Oh)
Real at the time
Real at the time (Oh)
Like the scene of a crime
It was real at the time
It was real at the time
Real at the time
