Only Takes a Second

Let me tell you about the southern belle
I used to know her so very well
I was young and well into my teens
A cocky kid in a T-shirt and jeans and she said
I need you tonight
You can warm me inside
Give me what I've been denied
In the meantime

Say we'll always be together
Cross your heart and swear to die
Seems we only got a second till we say goodbye

The wounds are healing and the time flies by
Life is reflected as you walk on by
I'm in no hurry cause it's in my past
She smashed my heart like she shattered glass
But how can I hide when I remember the night
Like a great flash of light I remember tomorrow

Say we'll always be together
Cross your heart and swear to die
Seems we only got a second till we say goodbye

They say she's married now and got six kids
And I'm still seeing if my cap still fits
I often think about the times we had
A small adventure in a broken Land
You get what you need
But still I believe
There's no good being free if you're lonely inside

Say we'll always be together
Cross your heart and swear to die
Seems we only got a second till we say goodbye
