Love Changes Everything

Before my second year of college
You were barely seventeen
I was hauling hay for your Daddy
And you brought me a glass of tea

To a farm boy from Oklahoma
You were small-town Texas prize
And every young man's dream in cut-off jeans
With that Homecoming Queen smile

You were making fun of my farmer's tan
And I was letting you
And fighting bull in the July heat
Trying to keep my cool

And the prairie wind sang while the dust devils danced
It just got hotter as the summer passed
And that first kiss stole our breath away

And 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
'Cos love changes everything

I think your Daddy wondered
But I know your Momma knew
'Cos 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 morning we were seeing some things for the very first time

And the prairie wind sang while the dust devils danced
Just got hotter as the summer passed
And that first touch stole our breath away

And 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
'Cos love changes everything

I never found my way back to college
And we found other loves since then
But that first one will live forever
'Cos I'll always remember when

Those prairie wind sang while the dust devils danced
And just got hotter as the summer passed
And that first kiss stole our breath away, oh

And 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
'Cos love changes everything

Whoa, love changes everything
Yeah
