It Just Took Once - Tony Gardner

We met at a party, we laughed at the same things
We drank the same drinks and we got on just fine

I'd just lost an old love, she'd just done the same thing
We felt good together and stayed close 'til the light

Of a big, new, old morning awakened our tired eyes
Yawning, embarrassed, sober we realised

There is nothing to build on from a tipsy one-nighter
The best thing we could do was just to move on

But something kept niggling, I called up the number
She had written in case there'd been words left unsaid

Some magic was drawing us closely together
Some higher power far wiser than we

Where we are heading for no one can tell us
We're happy to follow where ever we're led

We both are grown up and no longer childish
But we both agree, Fairy Tales are not dead.
