If Only It Were a Little Longer

[Verse] We met down at the creek in late July, Fireflies were dancing in the sky. She laughed and tossed her hair, the moment froze, In that summer's heat, love began to grow. [Verse 2] We'd sit on grandma's porch till the night grew cold, Talk about our dreams and stories untold. Every second felt like it was meant to be, Wishing time would stop, just her and me. [Chorus] If only it were a little longer, Our days so sweet, our love grown stronger. In the shadows of the past I wander, If only it were a little longer. [Verse 3] The September wind brought a chilling breeze, And we felt the shift down to our knees. She packed up her bags and said goodbye, Tears in her eyes, I watched her drive. [Verse 4] Years have passed, and life went on its way, But I think about her almost every day. The lessons learned and the love we shared, In a little more time, who knows how we fared. [Chorus] If only it were a little longer, Our days so sweet, our love grown stronger. In the shadows of the past I wander, If only it were a little longer.
