| Early Years (Laura Cantrell) Thrift Shop Songs, BMI Adm by BUG The three years that I loved you Were the best years, oh the early days Yes those early days when I hung around Followed you around trying to catch the sound Of your warm voice coming through my radio I went to the night clubs and the studios And somehow I knew I would make it so That you would love me in the sweetest way One night I let you pick me up Nice and easy I knew the time had come that you would love me some Soon our days and nights were busy These were the crazy years, songs cigarettes and tears And I never thought much about it How it all might change one day I just let myself feel good about you Way back in the early years Those early years, those heady days They rolled from one into the other Then walked away I was so naïve but I felt so strong Way back in the early years We took a drive on a windy day We watched the seagulls glide We saw the weather change But sometimes I feel the coldest chill I got Was from a look upon your face across the parking lot And your sweet voice I still remember but not the words I heard you say We never made it through December at the end of the early years Those early years, those heady days They rolled from one into the other Then walked away I was so naïve but I felt so strong Way back in the early years |
