I was fourteen that summer We only spent a week together And it may have only been a week But God you made my knees weak And I remember the moment I first saw you So tall and slender, with those big brown eyes You sat down next to me on the those front steps And now every time I see those steps I still think of you I was shucking corn when you offered to help Your southern drawl was so enticing I handed you an ear, and your hand graced mine God your touch took my breath away You told me you liked my shirt It doesn't fit me anymore, but I keep it anyway I remember that night around the bomb fire When I pointed out the small dipper You looked over at me with those big brown eyes You told me I was like the small dipper I'm still not really sure what you meant by that But it sounded romantic, and I smiled The day you left I didn't move Knowing that my whirl wind romance Had run its course I saw you one year later But all I could offer was a meek hello I wanted to say more But then you were gone And I was left wondering I wonder what you thought of me If you were as anamored by me As I was by you If I made your heart smile and your ears sing As you did mine If for that one week You were as in love with me As I was with you It's been five years But my thoughts still come back to you I wonder what's become of you I wonder if you're in love I wonder if you're happy I wonder what could have been I heard you live in Germany now How's the weather there? Anyway, Thanks for that one week And thanks for the music suggestions You were right, The Rolling Stones are awesome P.S, you made an excellent bocce ball partner.
