Early Years


The three years that I loved you,
Were the best years, oh, the early days
Yes, those early days, when I hung around,
Followed you around, tryin' to catch the sound,
Of your warm voice come through my radio
I went to the nightclubs, and the studios
And somehow I knew, I would make it so
And you would love me in the sweetest way

One night you let me pick you up, nice an' easy
I knew the time had come that you would love me some
Soon our days and nights were busy
These were the crazy years, songs, cigarettes and tears
And I never thought much about it
How it all might change some day
I just let myself feel good about you,
Way back in the early years

Those early years, some heady days,
They rolled from one into another, then walked away
I was so naive, but I felt so strong,
Way back in the early years

Instrumental break

We took a drive on a windy day
We watched the seagulls glide, we saw the weather change
But sometimes, I feel, the coldest chill I got,
Was the look upon your face across the parking lot
And your sweet voice, I still remember
But not the words I heard you say
We never made it through December,
At the end of the early years

Those early years, some heady days,
They rolled from one into another, then walked away
I was so naive, but I felt so strong,
Way back in the early years
Way back in the early years
