I was up on the stage gazing down at you
For all those many years
Strumming my strings and singing my songs
Of joy and hope and tears
You were a travellin' gal livin' on the road
Never stickin' around too long
But when you came around and you lit up the town
It seemed that this is where you truly belonged
We were down on the farm in the midsummer sun
While the horses grazed in the field
You gave me a tour and showed me your world
But you kept your feelings concealed
I just didn't know what to think at the time
'Coz I just couldn't get you alone
I really wanted to know all the thoughts in your mind
But at the time they remained unknown
Now I don't know what to do
I just can't let go of you
It's taken such a long long time
And now I want you to be all mine
But babe I know you're gonna fly
It's your way, you can't deny
But we'll meet again some day
And it'll be like you never went away
It was a hot summer night and the lights were bright
And the music filled the air
We were soaking up the sounds of Jackson Browne
It was the dawn of our love affair
We rushed the stage near the end of the show
And I held you, filled with desire
Before we parted ways at the end of the night
We kissed like we were on fire
So the days turned to weeks and before I knew it
You had won over my heart
The time just flew when we were together
And it dragged when we were apart
We got caught in the rain, saw the big city lights
We had dinner as the sun did set
I'll cherish every moment that we've had together
And I will never ever forget
Now I don't know what to do
I just can't let go of you
It's taken such a long long time
And now I want you to be all mine
But babe I know you're gonna fly
It's your way, you can't deny
But we'll meet again some day
And it'll be like you never went away
