A Little More Time

There was a time when the sunshine

Played in your soft blonde hair

Reflected in your golden eyes

You leaned back your head and you laughed

About tomorrow

And then it came, like a new day

The sun in the sky high beamed

Water sparkled down the stream

We knew this would all go away

But not today

And when it did you were better

Better than the day you were born

Not quite so perfectly formed

The only wish I had that day

That it would stay

Just a little more time

With you with me with you

Down by the stream, in the mountains

I promised you faithfully

That I would never leave

If and when I went away, I’d still protect you

But now I’m gone and the loose ends

Are stings hanging from my hands

Tied to an empty land

Stuck on a steering wheel in Nebraska

But I’m around so baby call me

Just before you go to bed

Before you lay down your head

Or if you need an old fashioned cry, I’m the guy

Just a little more time

With you with me with you

Just a little more time with you with me
