Just a Memory
Cherished Moments: Gulf Coast Serenade
Lyrics
You helped me finish my term paper
You assisted me in completing my term paper.
Took all night to get it done
It took all night to finish the task.
Then we turned it in and loaded up my car
After completing the paper, we packed my car.
Seven hundred miles later, like bandits on the run
We traveled approximately 700 miles, feeling liberated.
Girl, neither one of us had been that far
Both of us hadn't traveled that far before.
On a blanket on the beach there you are
You were present with me on a beach, lying on a blanket.
Cut off jeans and sunburned shoulders
You wore cutoff jeans and had sunburned shoulders.
Reaching out to pull me closer
You reached out to draw me nearer.
Watching that red sun sink lower
We observed the sunset, seeing the sun descend.
In the gulf of Mexico
Specifically in the Gulf of Mexico.
The taste of sweet strawberry wine
The taste of strawberry wine was evident during our kiss.
On your lips as you kiss mine
We held onto each other, refusing to let go.
Holdin' on like you and I ain't never lettin' go
The experience felt too vivid to merely be a memory.
Feels way too real to be just a memory
I think about that summer almost every day
I frequently reminisce about that particular summer.
It'll always be my favorite time with you
It remains my favorite period spent with you.
'Cause right there for a moment, I know I held everything
During that moment, I felt like I had everything I desired.
Then September came and you just disappeared
In September, you suddenly vanished.
Girl, sometimes I close my eyes and you're right here
At times, I close my eyes and imagine your presence.
Cut off jeans and sunburned shoulders
Similar to before, you wore cutoff jeans and had sunburned shoulders.
Reaching out to pull me closer
You extended your hand to bring me closer.
Watching that red sun sink lower
We watched the sunset again, this time in the Gulf of Mexico.
In the gulf of Mexico
The taste of strawberry wine lingered during our kiss.
The taste of sweet strawberry wine
We clung to each other tightly.
On your lips as you kiss mine
The experience felt too vivid to merely be a memory.
Holdin' on like you and I ain't never lettin' go
Feels way too real to be just a memory
-No matter what I do there's gonna be a few things I'll never forget
There are certain things that I'll never forget regardless of what I do.
Cut off jeans and sunburned shoulders
Similar to previous instances, you wore cutoff jeans and had sunburned shoulders.
Reaching out to pull me closer
You reached out to draw me nearer once more.
Watching that red sun sink lower
We witnessed the sunset again, this time in the Gulf of Mexico.
In the gulf of Mexico
The taste of strawberry wine lingered during our kiss, yet again.
The taste of sweet strawberry wine
We clung to each other tightly once more.
On your lips as you kiss mine
The experience felt too vivid to merely be a memory, again.
Holdin' on like you and I ain't never lettin' go
Feels way too real to be
The experience felt too vivid to be considered solely a memory.
Oh it's way too real to be just a memory
It's excessively realistic to be confined to just a memory.
Just a memory
The experiences are deemed as 'just a memory' but are deeply impactful.
