I wonder when
I wonder why
I wonder how
You became so important in my now
Perhaps it started with a then
Perhaps it started way back when
Perhaps, perhaps it's starting again

Down a slippery slope I fall
My shadow's dancing circles on the wall
And the craziest thing is
I've been through this all before
But it feels like new again
Like springtime or a brand new day
And all I can do is wonder wonder
Wonder wonder smile and say

I wonder when
I wonder why
I wonder how
You became so important in my now
Perhaps it started with a then
Perhaps it started way back when
Perhaps, perhaps it's starting again

Seems like only yesterday
I couldn't care less if you didn't know my name
But things have changed
Things have changed
Oh how they've changed
So sneakily
I never would've guessed before today
Things really are the way they are
Now I wonder wonder wonder wonder
Laugh and say

I wonder when
I wonder why
I wonder how
You became so important in my now
Perhaps it started with a then
Perhaps it started way back when
Perhaps, perhaps it's starting again

First we were strangers
Then we were friends
Then we were more
Although I'd sworn before
I'd never never never never never never
Date a friend
You said, "Let's see what the future has in store ..."
And all I can do is wonder wonder wonder wonder
Wonder wonder wonder wonder wonder wonder and

I wonder when
I wonder why
I wonder how
You became so important in my now
Perhaps it started with a then
Perhaps it started way back when
Perhaps, perhaps it's starting again

It's one more cliche when all is said and done
You never know what you've got until it's gone

I wonder when
I wonder why
I wonder how
You became so important in my now
Perhaps it started with a then
Perhaps it started way back when
Perhaps, perhaps it's starting again
