Standin' in a checkout line, Sunday afternoon,
You're smilin' like you saw me yesterday,
Half a heartbeat later I'm back in love with you,
Like all those years apart were wiped away,
We talk about the rainy day, talk about the crops,
How all the kids are grown and off at school,
How it's hard to be alone at first, but we're both doin' fine,
Then again - wouldn't it be somethin'...

Wouldn't it be somethin' if the things I said today,
Turned into what's really in my heart.
Losin' you forever was the price I had to pay, but
Then again - wouldn't it be somethin'...

You and I were seventeen, way too young to know,
The world would keep on turnin' through our love.
We believed the promise of a starry summer night,
And every endless day was proof enough.
Then that summer ended, we went our different ways,
Too young to stay together far apart,
Things got out of hand - one day I never wrote you back,
Then again - wouldn't it be somethin'...

Wouldn't it be somethin' if everything came out all right,
And if you and I could find another chance,
All these years without you make me feel alone tonight,
Then again - wouldn't it be somethin'...

The bagger says, "Excuse me, ma'am, can I help you to your car?"
We both notice we're holding up the line.
I scramble for a pen to write your number on my palm,
So we can finish catchin' up another time,
I hesitate to hurry, after all these years apart,
Still I'm careful not to wash my hands,
Until I've got that number burned into my heart,
I've found you now - and wouldn't it be somethin'...

Wouldn't it be somethin' if the years just slipped away,
And if somehow, I could turn the tide of time,
I'm crazy to believe I'll win you back, but anyway,
I've found you now - and wouldn't it be somethin'...

It's foolish to believe I'll win you back, but anyway,
I'll see you soon - and wouldn't it be somethin'...
