For A Little While

Hot sun, dancin' on the river
We'd sit on the bank and watch the world roll by
Our feet in the water, she'd press her lips to mine
We were so long on love but short on time
She could be a honeymoon sweet and a little wild
And she was mine, for a little while

(Chorus)
And I laugh everytime I start to think about us
We sent that summer out in the style
She's gone but she left with a smile
'Cause she was mine for a little while

We'd take a ride and head on down next 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
I knew she'd leave but I didn't know when
It matters to me now, but it didn't back then

(Chorus)
And I laugh everytime I start to think about us
We sent that summer out in the style
She's gone but she left with a smile
'Cause she was mine for a little while

(Bridge)
I keep seeing pictures now of me and her
And those summer nights
My mind fills with her, oh but it's all right

And I laugh everytime I start to think about us
We sent that summer out in the style
She's gone but she left me with a smile
'Cause she was mine
Yes, she was mine
For a little while
