That Fall Night

On that chilly fall night
I will never forget
For as long as I live
The boy that I met

His hair was the color
Of golden wheat
His laugh was so lovable
His smell was so sweet

I followed that boy
Wherever he called me
Maybe this one was different
And I wouldn't be lonely

The air changed to winter
We stood outside
He gave me his hand
And I held it with pride

He would take me out
And look in my eyes
And make me promises
That turned into lies

I knew it was coming
I wouldn't admit
Our short-lived romance
Was losing its grip

Then the tone in his voice
Gave it away
"Let's just be friends."
Heh, that'll be the day.

"It hurts me to do this
I still love you, dear
But you knew in your heart
When the end drew near."

I cried and I begged
But to no avail
I wish I could forget him
I try and I fail

I regret to say
The boy still holds my heart
Although I have searched
For a brand new start

Still, to this day
I will not forget
On that chilly fall night
The boy that I met
