[ Intro ] Hey, Julie. What happened to you? [ Chorus ] Your almond eyes, your impish smile, your free spirit. Drew me in. I thought I knew you, Julie, but I was wrong… …of the troubles lying just beneath your skin. Why were you afraid to… …afraid to let me in? [ Verse 1 ] One final test - you were an open book. The last of a long overdue grad-u-ation. You taught me more - more than any classroom could. And earned my in-fat-u-ation. But… [ Verse 2 ] One day you’d be so happy, Julie - so sad on the next. You drove me crazy! I never knew what to expect…. Behind those almond eyes lay a demon I could not com-pre-hend. Why, Julie? Why were you so afraid? So afraid to let me in? [ Verse 3 ] "Stay with me", you pleaded. "We can per-sev-ere!" You know I loved you, Julie, but, kept my distance out of fear. You struggled with those demons, Julie, as best as anyone could. You never asked for help - so mis-understood… [ Chorus ] Your almond eyes, your impish smile, your free spirit. Drew me in. I thought I knew you, Julie, but I was wrong… …of the troubles lying just beneath your skin. Why were you afraid to… …afraid to let me in? [ Bridge ] Late one night - a screech! A crash! The truth came spilling out. You’d live to see another day, Julie But our future was in doubt. [ Outro ] [ Sad ] I left you while you were sleeping, Julie, a note I left on your shelf. “Although I will always love you, Julie. You first must love yourself.”
