tamyra gray - the only thing lyrics

pretty brown eyed girl
she's so sweet and naive
she met a boy fell in love
carved their name out in a tree
what a perfect memory
there's a swing out by the creek
they would meet there
he put a rose in her hair
then she kissed him on the cheek

those were the days of innocence
when a boy just liked a girl
but we didn't know the difference
we were livin in our own world

[chorus]
all alone and then i close my eyes
i think back to that time of my life
when everything that meant anything was you
messed things up grew up a little too fast
i knew it was much too good to last
cuz the only thing that meant anything was you

after church one sunday morning
near the bottom of the stairs
hair pressed a pretty white dress
playing a game of truth or dare
i can still hear my momma saying
child you need to pray
i knew it was wrong
but it's been so long
since i felt that way

those were the days of innocence
when a boy just liked a girl
but we didn't know the difference
we were livin in our own world

[chorus]

starry skies under the moonlight
you and i two fireflies enchanted by the night
when i see a rainbow dance across the sky
i feel all warm inside
i get teary eyed
makes me think about you and i

[chorus]
