How Important Can It Be That I tasted other lips? That was long before you came to me With the wonder of your kiss So the story got around Of na old romance and me But it happened oh! so long ago How Important can't it Be? Mine was a young and a foolish heart Seeking love at every turn But I have grown so much wiser now Even foolish hearts can learn Let the past just fade away Why get lost in yesterday? The important thing is here and now And our love is here to stay
