For a Little While
Ephemeral Love: Phil Vassar's Tale of Summer Romance
Lyrics
Hot sun, dancin' on the river
Enjoying the warmth of the sun by the river
We'd sit on the bank and watch the world roll by
Reflecting on life while sitting by the riverbank
Our feet in the water, she'd press her lips to mine
Sharing intimate moments with a kiss while feet in the water
We were so long on love but short on time
Experiencing a love that was deep but constrained by time
She could be honeymoon sweet and a little wild
Describing the partner as both sweet and a bit wild
And she was mine for a little while
Expressing ownership of the relationship for a brief period
I laugh every time when I think about us
Recalling fondly the laughter and memories shared
We sent the summer out in style
Ending the summer on a positive note
She's gone but she left me with a smile
Even though she's gone, she left behind happy memories
Cause she was mine for a little while
Acknowledging the brevity of the relationship
We'd take a drive and park down next to airport road
Describing a scene of parking near an airport and watching planes
Put the seats back and watch the planes leave town
Recollecting a relaxed moment watching planes depart
She always said nobody's strong enough to tie her down
Noting her resistance to being tied down
But I wasn't lookin' for that anyhow
Clarifying that commitment wasn't what he sought
I knew she'd leave but I didn't know when
Aware of the eventual departure, unsure of when
It matters, but didn't back then
Recognizing the significance, but it wasn't a concern then
I laugh when I start to think about us
Laughing at the memories shared
We sent the summer out in style
Ending the summer with joy and style
She's gone but she left me with a smile
Even though she's gone, she left behind happiness
?Cause she was mine for a little while
Reiterating that she was his for a brief period
I keep seeing pictures now of me and her
Recalling images of the past with the partner
And those summer nights
Specifically remembering summer nights
My minds filled with her, oh and it's alright
Mind filled with her presence, feeling content
I laugh when I start to think about us
Reflecting with laughter on the shared experiences
We sent the summer out in style
Concluding the summer with joy and flair
She's gone but she left me with a smile
Even though she's gone, she left behind a positive impact
?Cause she was mine for a little while
Reiterating the temporary nature of their connection
