In a small-town church where we first met
Your golden hair caught the morning light just yet
We shared a secret smile, so young and free
But time and fate had other plans for you and me
We'd walk the fields where the daisies grew
Holding hands so tight as the sky turned blue
Whispers of forever beneath the oak tree shade
But dreams can change, and hearts can fade
Oh, the golden haired girl who slipped like sand
Out of my heart and into another's hands
Memories linger, like a haunting melody
But dreams can change, and hearts can fade
Oh, the golden haired girl who slipped like sand
Out of my heart and into another's hands
Memories linger, like a haunting melody
Of the first love who got away from me
Late-night drives in my old Silverado
Stars above us, feeling like there's no tomorrow
We talked of futures that seemed so bright
But parted ways on that fateful night
Now I sit alone in this run-down bar
Trace the past in the bottom of a jar
A bittersweet smile when I hear our song
Wondering how it all went so wrong
Oh, the golden haired girl who slipped like sand
Out of my heart and into another's hands
Memories linger, like a haunting melody
Of the first love who got away from me
