Before my second year of college, you were barely seventeen.
|
I was haulin' hay for your Daddy, an' you brought me a glass of tea.
|
To a farm boy from Oklahoma, you were small town Texas prize,
|
An' every young man's dream in cut-off jeans, with that Homecoming Queen smile.
|
You were makin' fun of my farmer's tan an' I was lettin' you.
|
An' fightin' bull in the July heat, tryin' to keep my cool.
|
|
An' the prairie wind sang while the dust devils danced.
|
It just got hotter as the summer passed.
|
An' that first kiss stole our breath away.
|
An' the breeze died down as our hearts surrendered.
|
The moonlight shattered as it crashed on the river.
|
We both knew we'd never be the same...
|
'Cause love changes everything.
|
|
I think your Daddy wondered but I know your Momma knew,
|
'Cause she pulled me aside one Friday night and said take good care of you.
|
We'd steal away after supper to our favorite place in the sand,
|
By the red water's edge where we'd hold hands while the sun melted into the land.
|
We lost more than sleep on one hot August night.
|
By mornin' we were seein' some things for the very first time.
|
|
An' the prairie wind sang while the dust devils danced.
|
Just got hotter as the summer passed.
|
An' that first touch stole our breath away.
|
An' the breeze died down as our hearts surrendered.
|
The moonlight shattered as it crashed on the river.
|
We both knew we'd never be the same...
|
'Cause love changes everything.
|
|
I never found my way back to college,
|
An' we found other loves since then.
|
But that first one will live forever,
|
'Cause I'll always remember when...
|
|
Those prairie wind sang while the dust devils danced.
|
Just got hotter as the summer passed.
|
An' that first kiss stole our breath away, ohhhh.
|
An' the breeze died down as our hearts surrendered.
|
The moonlight shattered as it crashed on the river.
|
We both knew we'd never be the same...
|
'Cause love changes everything.
|
|
Whoa love changes everything, yeah.
