It was the opinion of the majority that the verses were too long in this lyric, I re-wrote it and shortened the verses and made a couple of other changes and retitled it "Next Time List", which you can read by clicking HERE.

YOU GAVE ME
© Paula Wheeler - Dec 2005

V1
We spent the afternoon building dreams in the sand on Folly Beach
We spent half the night walking hand in hand down cobblestone streets.
We took a ferry ride out to the island to explore the old fort
You showed me a thousand things I'd never seen before.
We never made it up to that café on the roof,
We put it on our "next time" list of things to do.

Chorus:
You gave me days to always remember
You gave me nights I'll never forget
You gave me………
You gave me you …………..

V2
We spent the afternoon exploring the charm of the old country store.
We spent the night dancing in each others arms to the band at the local bar.
We were just 40 miles out of Shreveport, in a tiny Texas town,
Caught up in each other, taking in the sights and sounds.
We never made it to Shannon's for that game of pool,
We put it on our "next time" list of things to do.

Chorus:
You gave me days to always remember
You gave me nights I'll never forget
You gave me………
You gave me you …………..

Bridge:
And ev'ry now and then
I cant help myself
I pull those ol' memories
Down from the top shelf
And I can still taste your kiss
As I read our "next time" list ………..

Chorus:
You gave me days to always remember
You gave me nights I'll never forget
You gave me………
You gave me you …………..
