Hot sun, dancinâ² on the river
We'd sit on the bank and watch the world roll by
Our feet in the water, sheâ²d 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
Weâ²d take a ride and head on down next to Airport Road
Put the seats back and watch the planes leave town
She always said nobodyâ²s strong enough to tie her down
Oh... But I wasn't lookinâ² for that anyhow
I knew she'd leave but I didnâ²t 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
Sheâ²s 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
Sheâ²s gone but she left me with a smile
â²Cause she was mine
Yes, she was mine
For a little while
