Young And Pretty

(album: Delta Rae - 2010)

The sun had never fully bloomed
Until it washed through her dress in the hours for noon,
Sweeping every sadness from a quiet room, humming a song.
And fires had never felt so warm as when
The smoke rose from our chimneys in the early morn,
All the houses on the block were uniform
Reaching towards the sky in rivers.

You were so young and pretty
I saw us getting married
It didn't last, we each grew up, I didn't mind
But from time to time, I remember it well

And I never felt so safe
As when he stood on the sidelines of that football game
Cheering out to the son who would carry his name
All of our own small victories

You were so young and pretty
I saw us getting married
It didn't last, we each grew up, I didn't mind
But from time to time, I remember it well

So many loves that I've lost in time
Places that I'd like to live in for one more moment
And try to put on those shoes that I wore just once
Visit every bit of my old beauty

You were so young and pretty
I saw us getting married
It didn't last, we each grew up, I didn't mind
But from time to time...
You were so young and pretty
I saw us getting married,
All these years
I've remembered it well
