real at the time

bob seger

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

and it was real at the time

real at the time

i was yours you were mine

it was real at the time

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

cause it felt real at the time

real at the time

like a mountain you climb

it felt real at the time

and babe you meant so much to me

i never will forget your face

i never will forget those nights

those nights

those nights

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

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
