Tag (streaming MP3)

I remember when we were kids
We’d spend our summers in the pool
It’s funny how some memories
Won’t let you shake them loose

We played this game called water tag
She always wanted to be it
One day she up and tagged my heart
And now I can’t forget…

Chorus:
How much I loved her
On that summer day
When she tagged my heart
And then swam away
I tried hard to catch her
But she was too fast
Just a kiss in the water
That was too good to last

I was just about to say I love you
When she said let’s play tag

That fall her parents moved away
I remember the way she cried
As she looked back and waved at me
As they drove out of sight

After she left we kept in touch
With letters and holiday calls
And though it was never the same
I always could recall…

Chorus:
How much I loved her
On that summer day
When she tagged my heart
And then swam away
I tried hard to catch her
But she was too fast
Just a kiss in the water
That was too good to last

I was just about to say I love you
When she said let’s play tag

When I heard that she got married
I wrote a note to wish her well
If she can read between the lines
It won’t be hard to tell

Chorus:
How much I loved her
On that summer day
When she tagged my heart
And then swam away
I tried hard to catch her
But she was too fast
Just a kiss in the water
That was too good to last

I was just about to say I love you
When she said let’s play tag
