Description
I had an idea for a song about a guy who lost his first love about a year ago, and with each passing season, he thinks of that season with her.

Lyrics
Not for a long time
Not during April’s warm embrace
Flowers awaken, I am forsaken
And I would give anything to see your face
Lying beside me
Sleeping in late on Sunday morn
Without a care, and no time to get there
It was on days like this our love was born
Out in the country
Jumping in puddles in the rain
Everytime I remember, I dial your number
Pick up the phone and let me try to explain
How much I miss you
And how I wish I never crossed that line
I hope you’ll forgive me, I know that I’ll see you
But not for a long time.
900 miles away from me, seems so long ago
Back with your folks in Tennesee, time moving so slow
It seems like it was yesterday I was helping you pack
And every night that you’re away, I dream that you’ll come back
But not for a long time
Not in the Summer’s morning dew
We had everything out on the porch swing
Out on the lake in my dad’s old canoe
Down at the drive-in
Top down, Saturday night
A Western movie, fog on the windshield
And I was in heaven with you by my side
Must have been ninety
Fireworks in a crystal sky
Igniting the passion, I never imagined
The day you would look at me and say goodbye
I still miss you
And how I wish I never crossed that line
I hope you’ll forgive me, I know that I’ll see you
But not for a long time.
900 miles away from me, seems so long ago
Back with your folks in Tennesee, time moving so slow
It seems like it was yesterday I was helping you pack
And every night that you’re away, I dream that you’ll come back
But not for a long time
Not as the Autumn leaves turn brown
Wrapped in my sweater, you never looked better
I couldn’t believe the love that we had found
And not in December
Not as the wind cuts through my skin
Tear the calendar from the wall
I don’t have the strength to start again
One dusty present
Under the tree if you appear
Let old acquantance be forgotten
I’ll put it away for another year
I’ll always miss you
How I wish I never crossed that line
Someday I know I’ll get over you, baby…
But not for a long time.
900 miles away from me, should have never let you go
Back with your folks in Tennesee, I watch the falling snow
It seems like it was yesterday that you were my wife
Though the skies are cold and gray, I’ll get on with my life…
But not for a long time.
Not during April’s warm embrace
Flowers awaken, I am forsaken
And I would give anything to see your face
Lying beside me
Sleeping in late on Sunday morn
Without a care, and no time to get there
It was on days like this our love was born
Out in the country
Jumping in puddles in the rain
Everytime I remember, I dial your number
Pick up the phone and let me try to explain
How much I miss you
And how I wish I never crossed that line
I hope you’ll forgive me, I know that I’ll see you
But not for a long time.
900 miles away from me, seems so long ago
Back with your folks in Tennesee, time moving so slow
It seems like it was yesterday I was helping you pack
And every night that you’re away, I dream that you’ll come back
But not for a long time
Not in the Summer’s morning dew
We had everything out on the porch swing
Out on the lake in my dad’s old canoe
Down at the drive-in
Top down, Saturday night
A Western movie, fog on the windshield
And I was in heaven with you by my side
Must have been ninety
Fireworks in a crystal sky
Igniting the passion, I never imagined
The day you would look at me and say goodbye

And how I wish I never crossed that line
I hope you’ll forgive me, I know that I’ll see you

Though the skies are cold and gray, I’ll get on with my life…
But not for a long time.
