17 & Young

You don’t have to say a word
I know why you’re standing here
In the porch light with those tears
For a while you’ve tried to find the words
That could break my heart
And still leave us as good friends
Let me help you out
Were you just seventeen and young
Seventeen and dumb
Caught up by the sight
Of that Montana sky that night
You gave me your heart
On the first falling star
It was bright and fell fast
And love can burn out like that
Just take me back to that night
The campfire flickered in your eyes
Oh I know you felt it too
But what I can’t figure out
Is what exactlys different now
Where did I lose you
Please tell me now
Was I just seventeen and young
Seventeen and dumb
Caught up by the sight
Of that Montana sky that night
I gave you my heart
On the first falling star
It was bright and fell fast
And love can burn out like that
So go ahead and dry your eyes
Let’s not make this a bad goodbye
We both know what happened here
We were seventeen and young
Seventeen and dumb
Caught up by the sight
Of that Montana sky that night
You gave me your heart
On the first falling star
It was bright and fell fast
And love can burn out like that
