Sitting beneath that red bud tree

I love Jackie and Jackie loves me

It’s been 30 years since we were 17

I guess that we were just meant to be

Oh, I’m glad I got to love ya

Oh, it was written on the sun But somedays might last forever But not this one

Doctors said you’d have me till fall The leaves were changing and I recall Blowing all around my feet

But darlin’ even the wind has needs

Oh, I’m glad I got to love ya

Oh, it was written on the sun But somedays might last forever But not this one

Those northern Pines are calling you to bathe With the best views underneath there, shade

I faked the strength to hear your goodbyes I became like water with tears in my eyes You closed your eyes and you fell asleep

I thought it’d be you burying me

Oh, I’m glad I got to love ya

Oh, it was written on the sun But somedays might last forever These days might last forever Somedays might last forever But not this one
