The Hat

I knitted you a hat all blue and gold

To keep your ears warm from the Binghamton cold

It was my first one and it was too small

It didn't fit you at all, but you wore it just the same

I remember the first time we danced

I remember tunneling through the snow like ants

What I don't recall is why I said

"I simply can't sleep in this tiny bed with you anymore"

I should tell you that you were my first love

So it's Christmas time, it's been three years

And someone else is knitting things for your ears

I have come to learn I'll only see you interrupting my dreams at night

And that's alright

And that's alright

And that's alright

And that's alright

I should tell you that you were my first love

And it's alright

And it's alright

And it's alright

(And it's alright) we were seventeen again together

(And it's alright) we were seventeen again together

(And it's alright) we were seventeen again together

I should tell you that you were my first love

I should tell you that you were my first love

We were seventeen again

We were seventeen again

We were seventeen again
