lyrics

Nestled up beside me
Beneath a sliver of stars
We bid adieu to firelight
And hello to a time just ours

Dancing in the kitchen
To a song about falling slow
You said you might just fall with me
It’s now better that I know

Fare thee well, Ms. Yale
I’ll see you in good time
This here drink’s to hoping
I can keep you off my mind

A glance beneath a sunrise
Of a love I hoped might stay
My breeze so sweet and gentle
Was enough to blow you away

Immersed in all these feelings
Though not a one of them is hard
You swept me up in wonder
You may keep my kind regards

Fare thee well, Ms. Yale
I’ll see you in good time
This here drink’s to hoping
I can keep you off my mind

The shadow of past love
May have dimmed our light a bit
Light without shadow can shine through too bright
And better love lost than love left unlit

No right or wrong about it
Some flames weren’t meant to last
The warmth of our love will linger
For the hottest fires tend to burn fast

Fare thee well, Ms. Yale
I’ll see you in good time
This here drink’s to hoping
I can keep you off my mind
