Lyrics

Intro

Oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Baby girl

Verse 1

Streetlamp hum on a Sunday night

I still see your shape in the doorway

Soft rain tapping on the windowpane

You laughed and I forgot my own name

Pre-Chorus

Girl I would trade a thousand summers

Just to hold you one more hour

Warm as the porch light

Slow as the tide

Chorus

The time we had

Was tender and true

The time we had

Oh I owe it to you

I'd give my whole world

To live it again

The time we had

(The time we had)

Verse 2

Your perfume sat in the collar of my coat

Kept me company all winter long

I still drive past that little diner

Where you sang along to the radio

Pre-Chorus

So I keep your letters folded

Tucked inside my favorite book

Pages turning slowly

Holding every look

Chorus

The time we had

Was tender and true

The time we had

Oh I owe it to you

I'd give my whole world

To live it again

The time we had

(The time we had)

Bridge

Sweet woman

Sweet woman

Won't you tell me

Tell me once more

(I remember)

Say you remember

(I remember)

The way we were

Chorus

The time we had

Was tender and true

The time we had

Oh I owe it to you

I'd give my whole world

To live it again

The time we had

(The time we had)

Outro

The time we had

(The time we had)

Mm-hmm
