Somewhere Between the Moment We Met and the Time You Left

So we, we part ways, and I can't help,
But to think it was good, to know it was great,
To truely believe it was special.

We'd count the stars,
And it was me and you.
In the palm of my hand you would glisten.

It was mid-july,
Beneath the summer sky,
And you were mine for a moment...

I'd say something clever,
To try and win you over,
Anything to just seem smart.

Then you'd run away.
We'd play hide and seek.
Then I find you beneath that tree...

Oh can it get any better than this?
When a boy and a girl share their first kiss.
Oh can it get any better than this?
When a boy and a girl share their first kiss.

I'd drop you off,
At a quarter 'till 12,
Then I'd drive home by myself.

With the radio on,
I'd listen closely,
To a simple song with a melody.

But then you were gone,
In a blink of an eye.
Until this day I don't know why.

You told me, "boy that hat looks cute"
And as I recall it was that afternoon,
When I saw you there for the very last time,
But come what may it was worth it...

Oh can it get any better than this?
We were just two kids taking chances.
Oh can it get any better than this?
It was you and I taking chances.

You'd wear your hair to the side.
In a ponytail, it looked just right.
You said I gave you butterflies.
Can you still feel them from time to time?

Or did they fly off when you left,
And burn out like a cigarette,
That fills the air with so much smoke,
Leaving me breathless waiting to choke.

On what's left of all of this,
On all the 'what ifs'
And wondering back to all the times,
When everything was just right.

But it was good for us,
And it was good for me...
