Ok this one isn't about divorce, lol. Its about young love. Needed to write one a little less tragic sounding after the last couple.
You will always be 17 to me Your smile was the most beautiful thing I believe I'd ever seen We thought we'd have forever But that just wasn't meant to be That was years ago So many years ago But in my mind, you'll always be 17 . We'd talk all night on the telephone And you found a side of me that I'd never shown And any time we found the time to be alone We'd play that song And you'll always be 17 to me And I heard the other day your mom didn't have long And ya know that's just a shame I remember that dress she made you for the senior prom And remember laughing in the rain You were beautiful And you'll always be 17 to me We thought we'd have forever But that just wasn't meant to be That was years ago So many years ago But in my mind, you'll always be 17 And I hope you're doing fine And I hope that you are happy And every now and then I think of you Do you think about me And in my mind You'll always be 17 We thought we'd have forever But that just wasn't meant to be That was years ago So many years ago But in my mind, you'll always be 17 to me . I got a grandson now And he looks just like my boy He's got a crush on his first grade teacher Lord he brings me so much joy But some day he'll meet a girl and when he meets her I hope he always remembers 17 I want to thank you for the memories And when you waltz across my mind I always smile Because in my mind You'll always be 17 . We thought we'd have forever But that just wasn't meant to be That was years ago So many years ago But in my mind, you'll always be 17 to me
