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

She was mine, oh, for a little while and

I laugh everytime I start to think about us

We sent that summer out in style and

She's gone but she left with a smile

'Cause she was mine for a little while, uh-hm

Oh, we'd take 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 knew she'd leave but I didn't know when

It matters to me now, oh, but it didn't back then and

I laugh everytime I start to think about us

We sent that summer out in style and

She's gone but she left with a smile

'Cause she was mine for a little while

Uh-hm

I keep seeing pictures now

Of me and her and those summer nights

My mind fills with her, oh, but it's alright 'cause

I laugh everytime I start to think about us

We sent that summer out in style and

She's gone but she left me with a smile

'Cause she was mine

Yes, she was mine

Oh, for a little while

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh
