For a Little While

Hot Sun, dancin' on the river
We'd sit on the bank
Watch the world go by
Our feet in the water
She'd press her lips to mine

We were so long on love
Short on time
She could be
A honeymoon suite and a little wild
But she was mine
Oh, for a little while and

I laugh
Every time I start to think about us
We sent
That summer out in style, and
She's gone
But she left me with a smile
But she was mine for a while

We took a ride
And head on down to airport road
Put the seats back
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 know she'd leave
But I didn't know when
It matters to me now
Oh, but it didn't back then and

I laugh
Every time I start to think about us
We sent
That summer out in style, and
She's gone
But she left me with a smile
But she was mine for a while

I keep seein' pictures now
Of me and her in those summer nights
My mind fills with her
Oh, but it's alright 'cause

I laugh
Every time I start to think about us
We sent
That summer out in style, and
She's gone
But she left me with a smile
But she was mine for a while
