We were sitting on the tailgate,
mid-July
Watching dust clouds paint the evening sky
She had a smile that could stop the train We talked for
hours through a summer rain
And my heart was beating like a kick-drum drum
Knowing right then she was the only one
Oh, that first sweet taste of a lifetime love
Underneath the stars shining high above
Holding hands, learning how to fly In the quiet magic of a
country sky (yeah, that was the night)
Carved our initials in the old oak tree
She promised her tomorrow to a boy like me
Years roll by like a winding stream But we are still living
that youthful dream
Oh, that first sweet taste of a lifetime love
Underneath the stars shining high above
Holding hands, learning how to fly In the quiet magic of a
country sky (sing it now)
Still in love, under that sky (mmmmm)
Just you and I
