Mine

Sittin on the front step just thinking of you
The breeze takes me back to those warm afternoons
In the middle of August when we had first met
Your hand in my hand, I'll never forget
The smell of the roses, the touch of your skin
Just laughing and loving and taking it in

Wee talk about dreaming and losing our minds
When we were still strangers, I knew you were mine
I knew you were mine
mine, mine

Then the leaves started changing and hitting the ground
You pulled me in closer and I stuck around
You called me your lady, I'd pick you up from work
Living life beside you 'til it started to hurt
When the light in your eyes wouldn't shine quite as bright
You'd still hold my hand but your grip wasn't tight

I watched your love fade and fading in time
But you came home to me and I knew you were mine
I knew you were mine
Mine, mine

Holdin on, holdin on, I was holdin on to you
But you were gone, you were gone, there was nothing I could do
Always singing your songs, just an empty lullaby
Goodbye

Now I'm just sitting on this front step and thinking of you
The times that we had and those warm afternoons
The most beautiful soul that I ever had met
You changed me forever, I'll never forget
This bittersweet feeling that's left in my chest
I know that you tried so I'll put it to rest
Your presence is warm and your eyes they are kind
And I love you beyond that mind, I love you beyond that mind
You're not mine, mine, mine
