Only Thing

                                  Pretty brown eyed girl

She's so sweet and naive

She met a boy fell in love

Carved their name out in a tree

What a perfect memory

There's a swing out by the creek

They would meet there

He put a rose in her hair

Then she kissed him on the cheek



Those were the days of innocence

When a boy just liked a girl

But we didn't know the difference

We were livin in our own world



All alone and then I close my eyes

I think back to that time of my life

When everything that meant anything was you

Messed things up grew up a little too fast

I knew it was much too good to last

'cause the only thing that meant anything was you



After church one Sunday morning

Near the bottom of the stairs

Hair pressed a pretty white dress

Playing a game of truth or dare

I can still hear my momma saying

Child you need to pray

I knew it was wrong 

But it's been so long

Since I felt that way



Those were the days of innocence

When a boy just liked a girl

But we didn't know the difference

We were livin in our own world



All alone and then I close my eyes

I think back to that time of my life

When everything that meant anything was you

Messed things up grew up a little too fast

I knew it was much too good to last

'Cause the only thing that meant anything was you



Starry skies under the moonlight

You and I two fireflies enchanted by the night

When I see a rainbow dance across the sky

I feel all warm inside 

I get teary eyed

Makes me think about you and I



All alone and then I close my eyes

I think back to that time of my life

When everything that meant anything was you

Messed things up grew up a little too fast

I knew it was much too good to last

'Cause the only thing that meant anything was you
