Lyrics

First Night
That night I kicked around
Headed on into town
Had a drink and watched that girl

When the night got long
The band's playing their last song
I love the one with the string of pearls

I'll take her home to see
If she would stay with me
Our love did burn the night away
And in the morning she did say.....

Chorus1
Tell me while you hold my hand
Tell me that you understand
That was not some night we'll regret
Tell me it's the night we first met

(short break)

We made plans and looked ahead
Bought the house and made our bed
Watched the autumn colors fall

All the changes that we went through
Little things we didn't do
What the reason, I can't recall

Things went by too fast
We watched each season pass
We didn't want to see it slip away
Then we remembered what to say

Chorus2
Tell me while you hold my hand
Tell me that you understand
There is something we just can't forget
Tell me like the night we first met

(break)

Break
Chorus3
Tell me while you hold my hand
Tell me that you understand
Our life's a lovely duet
Just like the night we first met

This one really grows on you as it progresses. The vocal has spots where it is very reminisent of Neil Young in his "Human Highway" era. The instrumentation is top notch bluegrassy country feel with the banjo just plunking away. I enjoyed this one very much! Nice job.
