FOREVER FOR JUST A LITTLE WHILE...

I drove west the other day
Thought of you along the way
Came up with a smile every mile
It's all my fault it came to this
I knew from its genesis

You never stood a prayer
Not a puncher's chance
You just flaunted what I wanted in that moment
Someone to love, someone to hold
But I can't grow old with just that

How do I know?
Baby, you gave your whole heart to me
It was such a mystery to you
God only knows
All I wanted was for you to give it to Him

Now I miss you
Like a clean man misses booze
Like a worn out pair of shoes
Like there's nothing left to lose
And I'm better off
But damn, you made me smile
I want you forever for just a little while
I want you forever for just a little while

I can see the other side
Didn't think with all your pride
There would ever be a day I'd come
to miss the good more than the bad
You're the best I've ever had

But all that means is so far
the best is yet to come
And I mean that in more ways than just one
So many guys, so many times
I'm not sure what's worse

Now that I know
Baby, you gave your whole heart to me
It was such a mystery to you
God only knows
All I wanted was for you to give it to Him

Now I miss you
Like a clean man misses booze
Like a worn out pair of shoes
Like there's nothing left to lose
And I'm better off
But damn, you made me smile
I want you forever for just a little while
I want you forever for just a little while

I still think about you, dear
And it's been almost a year
I check the plates each time I see that kind of car
Looks just like yours, again I'm wrong
But at least you've got your song

Now I miss you
Like a clean man misses booze
Like a worn out pair of shoes
Like there's nothing left to lose
And I'm better off
But damn, you made me smile
I want you forever for just a little...

I miss you
And I know you miss me, too
And it's something I can't prove
But I don't really need to
And I'm better off
But damn, you made me smile
I want you forever for just a little while
I want you forever for just a little while
I want you forever for just...
