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 an old romance and me
But it happened oh! so long ago

How Important Cant it Be?
Mine was a young and a foolish heart
seeking love at ev'ry 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
