lyrics

Found an old hat you gave me on 4th of July
All rolled up, a little frayed
I never wrote the moment in a diary
Still feels like yesterday

At Sweet Pea's you smiled, and handed me a box
Said your window shopping, met the impromptu
Second hand from Panama, a head-on perfect fit
Touch 'o love made it feel brand new

Back when you and I were all we had
Back when you and I were all we had

Took me back to our alley cat days
Barefoot dances and moonlight swims
The orchid of a girl, rebel of a boy
We saw eye-to-eye and brim-to-brim

Back when you and I were all we had
Back when you and I were all we had
And a touch of love was more than enough
Back when you and I were all we had

Extra time now leaves me lookin' at the clock
And through old boxes full of who I was
Drop the needle on the vinyl, Pretty Woman takes us back
Inside the grooves, we'll dance away the dust

Back when you and I were all we had
Back when you and I were all we had
A touch of love was more than enough
Back when you and I were all we had

Back when you and I were all we had
And mint-chip was all it took to make you glad
And promises rolled easy off the tongue
And a touch of love was more than enough
Back when you and I were all we had
