Partners

(album: Midnight Angel - 1976)

We used to ride the trail together
You were Roy and I was Dale
We chased the bad guys out of our home neighborhood
Then we were prince and princess
Of Greenfield Elementary
We were partners even then it was understood

In junior high you kissed me
Cause I'd never been kissed before
Holding hands we walked home from school and dreamed
You gave me your high school ring
Before you'd worn it once
And I led the cheers for my partner on the team

Partners we used to be partners
Facing life together side by side
Partners we used to be partners
But I guess some partners can't be man and wife

After graduation
We spoke our wedding vows
And promised to be partners all our lives
But you're not Roy and I'm no Dale
And we're not prince and princess
And making believe we're still in love ain't right

Partners we used to be partners
Facing life together side by side
Partners we used to be partners
But I guess some partners can't be man and wife
No I guess some partners can't be man and wife
