The Only Thing Lyrics - Singles - Tamyra Gray

Pretty brown eyed girl she's so sweet and naive 

She met a boy fell in love, carved their name out in a tree 

And oh you, what a perfect memory, there's a swing out by the creek 

They would meet there, he put a rose in her hair 

Then she kissed him on the cheek 

Those were the days of innocence 

When a boy just liked a girl 

But we didn't know the difference 

We were livin' in our own world 

All alone and then I close my eyes 

I think back to that time of my life 

When everything that meant anything was you 

Messed things up grew up a little too fast 

I knew it was much too good to last 

'Cuz the only thing that meant anything was you, yeah 

After church one Sunday morning near the bottom of the stairs 

Hair pressed a pretty white dress playing a game of truth or dare 

And oh, I can still hear my momma saying child you need to pray 

I knew it was wrong but it's been so long since I felt that way 

Those were the days of innocence 

When a boy just liked a girl 

But we didn't know the difference 

And we're livin' in our own world 

All alone and then I close my eyes 

I think back to that time of my life 

When everything that meant anything was you 

Messed things up grew up a little too fast 

I knew it was much too good to last 

'Cuz the only thing that meant anything was you, yeah 

Starry skies under the moonlight 

You and I two fireflies enchanted by the night 

When I see a rainbow dance across the sky 

I feel all warm inside I get teary eyed 

Makes me think about you and I 

All alone and then I close my eyes 

I think back to that time of my life 

When everything that meant anything was you 

Messed things up grew up a little too fast 

I knew it was much too good to last 

'Cuz the only thing that meant anything was you 

All alone and then I close my eyes 

I think back to that time of my life 

When everything that meant anything was you 

Messed things up grew up a little too fast 

I knew it was much too good to last 

'Cuz the only thing that meant anything was you, yeah
