Hot sun dancing on the river
We're sitting on the bank and watch the world go by
Our feet in the water she pressed her lips on mine
We were so long on love but short on time
She could be a honeymoon sweet and a little wild
But she was mine, oh, for a little while

And I laugh everytime I start to think about us
We sent that summer out in style
And she's gone but she let me with a smile
'Cause she was mine for a little while

We'd take a ride and head on down to airport road
Put the seats back watch the planes leave town
She always said nobody's strong enough to tie her down
Oh, but I wasn't looking for that anyhow
I knew she'd leave but I didn't know when
It matters to me now, oh, but it didn't back then

And I laugh everytime I start to think about us
We sent that summer out in style
And she's gone but she let me with a smile
'Cause she was mine for a little while

I keep seeing pictures now of me and her and those summer nights
My mind fills with her
Oh, but it's alright

'Cause I laugh everytime I start to think about us
We sent that summer out in style
And she's gone but she let me with a smile
'Cause she was, yes, she was mine, oh, for a little while
