If it was only the fall
We could have had it all
Or at least a night
We would have remembered
We danced the night away
Then you asked me to stay
It could have been OK
If it was only September
I bought a shirt for eighteen dollars
Just so you'd say I looked good
I held my fear and I held your hand
Just like your sister said I should
And even though I didn't know
The color of your eyes
Your name still stops my heartbeat every time
You were a stranger to me
An unconfirmed apointee
But how could we delay
And wait for love to happen
And how was I to know
That when you had to go
So did every thing
That I naively imagined
I bought a shirt for eighteen dollars
Just so you'd say I looked good
I held my fear and I held your hand
Just like your sister said I should
And even though I didn't know
The color of your eyes
Your name still stops my heartbeat every time
I bought a shirt for eighteen dollars
Just so you'd say I looked good
I held my fear and I held your hand
Just like your sister said I should
And even though I didn't know
The color of your eyes
Your name still stops my heartbeat every time
