Young And Pretty lyrics - Delta Rae

The sun had never fully bloomed

Until it washed through her dress in the hours for noon,

Sweeping every sadness from a quiet room, humming a song.

And fires had never felt so warm as when

The smoke rose from our chimneys in the early morn,

All the houses on the block were uniform

Reaching towards the sky in rivers.

You were so young and pretty

I saw us getting married

It didn't last, we each grew up, I didn't mind

But from time to time, I remember it well

And I never felt so safe

As when he stood on the sidelines of that football game

Cheering out to the son who would carry his name

All of our own small victories

You were so young and pretty

I saw us getting married

It didn't last, we each grew up, I didn't mind

But from time to time, I remember it well

So many loves that I've lost in time

Places that I'd like to live in for one more moment

And try to put on those shoes that I wore just once

Visit every bit of my old beauty

You were so young and pretty

I saw us getting married

It didn't last, we each grew up, I didn't mind

But from time to time...

You were so young and pretty

I saw us getting married,

All these years

I've remembered it well
