Katie Mae
First loves are hardest to get over
They stay with you till your last day
She helped me learn what love was
And her name was Katie Mae
And when I was just a boy
She helped me become a man
My destiny seemed to rest there
Right in the palm of her hand
But little did I know she
Would spread her wings and fly
Leaving this lost and lonely boy
Filled with emptiness inside
She was honeysuckle in May
The best one in the bouquet
Her sundresses always tempted
And her name was Katie Mae
Now when I look back on my memories
My cloudy mind becomes so clear
I can picture her in the hallway
It's stuck with me all these years
I remember asking:
Katie May I talk to you real fast
Katie May I take you to the prom
She smiled and softly said yes
My inhibitions soon were gone
From that day on my whole life changed
It would never be the same
I spent that summer, living my dreams
In the arms of Katie Mae
But young love has a way
To somehow grow apart
Leaving holes that still reside
In that once young man's heart
I hear Katie's married now
And she's finally settled down
But one day I got a call
Saying she'd be back in town
I remember how I felt
Mixed emotions ruled that day
Yet somehow I traveled back
To another time, another place
So I asked her:
Katie may I take you out to dinner
Katie may we talk about old times
Katie mae said she would have changed things
Said she was young and she was blind
I just smiled as I sat there
Thinking about what she had said
Hanging on to every line
Wishing, as we reminisced
I daydreamed:
Katie may I take you to the movies
Even heard Katie Mae say I do
These were all the things I once hoped for
If Katie Mae only knew
