Now and Then Lyrics

It's already morning

The sun just kissed the sky

I hear you bumping up the road

You've come to say goodbye

You leave the engine running

And hurry to the door

A stream of tears fall down my face

I can't hold 'em back no more

Drag my feet to let you in

All I can do is stall

And reminisce about days gone by

Here's what I recall...

The first time you kissed my lips

I felt so alive

That time down by the river

We laughed until we cried

We slow danced the night away

With that beat up radio

The way you held me tight

I never thought you would let me go

Promise to write, promise to call

I know that won't last long

But I'll still be sittin' here

Right by the phone

Do you really have to go?

Why can't you just stay?

Why do you have to go

So far away?

And I think and remember back

How we used to be

I think and remember back

And here is what I see

All the laughs we shared

Tears of joy we cried

The first time you kissed my lips

I felt so alive

We slow danced the night away

With that one speaker radio

The way you held me tight

I never thought you would let me go

And every now and then

When I'm all alone

I'm going to think of you

And every now and then

When I think of you

I'm going to wonder

Are you thinking of me too?

I should have never lied

And said that you should go

I should have never lied

I should have never let you go

What would life be like

If we still walked hand in hand?

What would life be like

If we lived it like we planned?

All the times we laugh

The tears of joy we cry

When you kiss my lips

I feel so alive

We slow dance the night away

With your mom's old radio

The way you hold me tight

I never want you to let me go

And every now and then

I look at you that way

And you know I love you

And every now and then

Out of the blue

You kiss me softly

And I know you love me too
