They're boarding up this water town
Ain't nobody hanging around
Another gray September day
Was I crazy to think she'd stay?
If that sun would have just hung up in that sky
Just a little bit,
yeah,
just a little bit longer
If those blue water waves could have stayed
At her feet on the beach instead of going out with the tide
If that wind was a friend,
it'd still be blowing in like a warm southern whisper on her
She might have stayed forever and never,
ever left these arms if only I
Had a little more summertime
I brace myself against the cold
Let her memory take hold
Stirring that old fire up
As if I don't miss her enough
If that sun would have just hung up in that sky Just a little bit,
yeah,
just a little bit longer
If those blue water waves could have stayed At her
feet on the beach instead of going out with the tide
If that wind was a friend,
it'd still be blowing in like a warm southern whisper on her
She might have stayed forever and never,
ever left these arms if only I
Had a little more summertime
If that sun would have just hung up in that sky
Just a little bit,
yeah,
just a little bit longer
She might have stayed forever and never,
ever left these arms if only I
Had a little more summertime
