From the recording Brighter Days
Lyrics
Barely 17
Marlo Hower - Lyrics, Mark Minges - Music
First saw you down at the Dairy Queen
Where I worked summer days to beat the heat
You walked inside the door that day
With your little girl, to get ice cream
Your blue eyes made my heart stand still
You were the cutest boy that I have ever seen
Oh I won’t forget that summer we met
I was barely 17
I winked, you smiled
And then you hung around me for awhile
We were young, travelin around’ in a pickup having fun When you dropped down to one knee
That’s the day things changed in my world
Your baby blues, they chose me
Your blue eyes they made my heart stand still
You were the cutest boy that I had ever seen
Oh I won’t forget that summer we met, baby
I was barely 17
I said yes, you held me tight and
Then we talked about our forever dreams
So thankful for those hot summer days,
Your baby blues, and that little Dairy Queen
Oh, I said yes
Your blue eyes they made my heart stand still
You were the cutest boy that I had ever seen
Oh I won’t forget that summer we met,
I was barely 17
No I won’t forget that summer we met, I was barely 17
No I won’t forget that summer baby, I was barely 17
