For A Little While

Hot sun dancin' on the river

We're sittin' 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 sweet 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 let me with a smile

'Cause she was mine for a little while

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 every time I start to think about us

We sent that summer out in style

And she's gone but she let me with a smile

'Cause she was mine for a little while

I keep seein' 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 let me with a smile

'Cause she was mine for a little while

Yeah she was mine for a little while
