From the recording Song for Megan (Demo)

Lyrics

Picked up an old album just the other day
A photo fell out, colors fading away
My teenage self — confident, handsome with style
And you in your pink shirt with your calm, graceful smile

Fond memories stirred up a tear in my eye
The moments we shared at that special time
You’ve no doubt forgotten but I keep wondering why
I made the mistake to say goodbye

I remember your brown eyes, your voice, and your touch
The way you whispered to me in the language of love
Who knows how long it might’ve lasted — a few months, years or more
But I wish I had allowed the chance to explore

Do you recall when we left the dance early, losing track of the time?
Five minutes to midnight, can’t miss the deadline
Zipping down the highway at almost the speed of light
But I got you home safely — it was almost all right.

I remember your brown eyes, your voice, and your touch
The way you whispered to me in the language of love
Who knows how long it might’ve lasted — a few months, years or more
But I wish I had allowed the chance to explore

The way we broke up must have hurt you for sure
I was young, shortsighted, and way immature
I’m thinking right now about what might have been
What we may have done or could together have seen

Decades have passed, we’ve led our own lives
Happiness, joy, family — success of all kinds
But there’s a hole in my heart that I didn’t know was there
Triggered by an old image of a moment we once shared

I remember your brown eyes, your voice, and your touch
The way you whispered to me in the language of love
Who knows how long it might’ve lasted — a few months, years or more
But I wish I had allowed the chance to explore

Megan — mon premier amour
