There was a time when the sun shined
Played in your soft blond hair
Reflected in your golden eyes
You leaned back your head and you laughed
About tomorrow
And then it came like a new day
The sun in the sky beamed
Water sparkled down the stream
We knew this would all go away
But not today
And when it did you were better
Better than the day you were born
Not quite so perfectly formed
The only wish I had that day
That it would stay
CHORUS:
Just a little more time, with you
With me, with you
Just a little more time, with you and me.
Down by the stream in the mountains
I promised you faithfully
That I would never leave
If'n when I went away
I'd still protect you
But now I'm gone and the loose ends
Are strings running through my hands
Tied to an empty land
Stuck on a steering wheel
In Nebraska
But I'm around so baby call me
Just before you go to bed
Before you lay down your head
Or if you need an old fashioned cry
I'm your guy
