i should have watched that first step lyrics

I once had a love, a true and lasting love
But the fool in me came out one night
And with her loving eyes
She saw right through my eyes
And she changed the night
I stepped across the line

I should have watched that first step
It was a mighty big step
When I started steppin' out of line
Though she's still lovin' me
It's not the way it used to be
That first step did something to her mind

I watched her slip away
A little more every day
And my conscience couldn't live with all that pain
She's growing colder
Since the day I told her
And the love we had will never be the same

I should have watched that first step
It was a mighty big step
When I started steppin' out of line
Though she's still lovin' me
It's not the way it used to be
That first step did something to her mind
That first step did something to her mind
