For A While

FOR A WHILE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I couldn't get enough 

When you and I were together 

Two fools living the dream

Stone faced in love

We thought we would last forever 

You were the cookie to my cream

Then came the dog days of summer

Oh, what a bummer

Too many temptations 

Too many chances and the nights were gone

We became slaves to our desires

We burned in the fires 

We threw everything away 

This is the way that I remember 

Me loving you

You loving the world

This is the time that feels so tender 

This is the truth

You were my girl for a while

We became slaves to our ambitions

Our secret submissions 

Leaving us dead on the floor 

This is the way that I remember 

Me loving you

You loving the world

This is the time that feels so tender 

This is the truth

You were my girl for a while

Just tell me so and you know I'll go away

I will go away

I love you all over again 

Just tell me so and you know I will never go away

I'll never go away

I love you and then we can be friends again 

We became slaves to our desires

We burned in the fires 

We threw everything away 

This is the way that I remember 

Me loving you

You loving the world

This is the time that feels so tender 

This is the truth

You were my girl for a while

This is the way I surrendered

Me loving you

You loving the world

This is the time that will render

The fate of the truth

You were my girl for a while
