Real at the Time

Words and Music by Bob Seger

 

I still remember how I fell for you

There wasn't one thing I would not do

I still recall the love in your eyes

Blue like the sky on a clear sunrise

And it was Real At The Time

Real At The Time

I was yours you were mine

It was Real At The Time

 

You were a lioness tall and lean

You were the best thing I'd ever seen

I heard a loneliness in your voice

I charged ahead I had no choice

Cause it felt Real At The Time

Real At The Time

Like a mountain you climb

It felt Real At The Time

 

And babe you meant so much to me

I never will forget your face

I never will forget those nights

Those nights

Those nights

 

Lost in the pettiness and the fights

Lost in the battle for bragging rights

We were a couple of kindred souls

Fighting for childish things like control

 

But it was Real At The Time

Real At The Time

Like the scene of a crime

It was Real At The Time

It was Real At The Time

I was yours you were mine

We got way out of line

But it was Real At The Time
