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
