WHEN COULD WE HAVE MET? WORDS & MUSIC:   Earl P. Reinhalter were our parents ever children? I can't imagine that. and it seems even more certain we've always been ourselves: me, a veteran of the war. you, no virgin anymore. and now we mourn the death of all our separate years that could have been measured with one clock. but... when could we have met? when could we have met? in what season? when did you become what I've learned to love? when? when could we have met? when could we have met? in what hour did my eyes learn to divine the underground springs you possess? when could we have met? surely not in the crib, on the playground, or homecoming day. when could we have met? not one day before we did. © Copyright 1976 Earl P.
