For a Little While

Hot sun, dancin' on the river We'd sit on the bank and watch the world roll by Our feet in the water, she'd press her lips to mine We were so long on love but short on time She could be a honeymoon sweet and a little wild And she was mine, for a little while (Chorus) And I laugh everytime I start to think about us We sent that summer out in the style She's gone but she left with a smile 'Cause she was mine for a little while We'd take a ride and head on down next to Airport Road Put the seats back and watch the planes leave town She always said nobody's strong enough to tie her down Oh... But I wasn't lookin' for that anyhow I knew she'd leave but I didn't know when It matters to me now, but it didn't back then (Chorus) And I laugh everytime I start to think about us We sent that summer out in the style She's gone but she left with a smile 'Cause she was mine for a little while (Bridge) I keep seeing pictures now of me and her And those summer nights My mind fills with her, oh but it's all right And I laugh everytime I start to think about us We sent that summer out in the style She's gone but she left me with a smile 'Cause she was mine Yes, she was mine For a little while
