For a Little While

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hot sun, dancin' on the river We're sittin' on the bank, 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] She could be a honeymoon sweet and a little wild But she was mine, oh, for a little while [Chorus] 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 [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 lookin' for that, anyhow [Pre-Chorus 2] I knew she'd leave, but I didn't know when It matters to me now, oh, but it didn't back then [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] I keep seein' pictures now Of me and her and those summer nights My mind fills with her Oh, but it's alright [Chorus] 'Cause 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 [Outro] Yeah she was mine Oh, for a little while Yeah
