Hot sun dancing on the river
We'd sit on the bank and watch the world go by
Our feet in the water, she pressed her lips to mine
We were so long on love but short on time
She could be a honeymoon suite in a little while
'Cause she was mine oh, for a little while
Chorus
I left every time I'd start to think about us
We sent that summer out in style
She's gone but she left me with a smile
'Cause she was mine for a little while
verse 2
We'd take a ride and head on down 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 looking for that anyhow
I knew she'd leave but I didn't know when
It matters to me now oh, but it didn't back then
Chorus
I left every time I'd start to think about us
We sent that summer out in style
She's gone but she left me with a smile
'Cause she was mine for a little while
verse 3
I keep seeing pictures now of me and her and those summer nights
My mind fills with her oh, but it's alright 'cause
Chorus
I left every time I'd start to think about us
We sent that summer out in style
She's gone but she left me with a smile
'Cause she was mine for a little while
