That One Time

from The Lucky Ones by Heather Aubrey Lloyd

/

lyrics

You’re still too beautiful for your own good
And if you weren’t so kind I’d worry ‘bout
The favors you come asking me to do
Easy to have a soft spot for you

And there was that one time
For once in the same town
You walked me back to my hotel
After we’d had a couple rounds
I wouldn’t stop talking
You kissed me to calm me down
And left me speechless at the door

I never pined. We kept in touch where we could.
A phone call. A ride to the airport.
A place to stay.
A bottle of wine.

And that one time
I cracked a joke (wasn’t a joke at all)
You took my hand
And you led me down the hall
It wasn’t love
It was beautiful

And that one time
Sometimes bites you in the end
Mostly when you try to turn
Once into again
But some things stand alone, stand apart
It’s no sin
We were smart my friend

I smile when those girls write their songs for you
Sing along because I know a thing or two
But I never wrote you one
Didn’t seem the thing to do
You didn’t heal my heart, or leave me cryin’
You just stayed the night … that one time.
