Never Let Her Go

[Verse 1] It was late July in that photograph I could see her smile, hear her laugh Feel our bare feet, in the sand Holdin' on to each other's hand Sunlight dancin' off her pretty face Man, those were the days Been washed away like our names in the sand with the waves [Chorus] She had my heart At seventeen Now all I've got Is her memory Where she is now I just don't know How she got gone when I never let her go [Verse 2] Sometimes when the wind is right I can see us there on a summer night With a blanket down and looking up at the starry skies So in love that goodnight kiss never felt so sweet Didn't know it was the last there'd be But like the leaves on the autumn trees When summer's gone, so was she [Chorus] She had my heart At seventeen Now all I've got Is her memory Where she is now I just don't know How she got gone when I never let her go [Verse 3] I just hope she's out there somewhere Livin' life with no regrets I wish I could say the same for me But I ain't got there yet [Chorus] She's had my heart Since seventeen Man I fell so hard I lost everything Where she is now I just don't know How she got gone She had my heart At seventeen Now all I've got Is her memory Where she is now I just don't know How she got gone when I never let her go Never let her go [Outro] It was late July in that photograph I could see her smile, hear her laugh
