I had a sweetheart
When I was 14
Gave her my whole heart
But she didn't love me
Oh, she didn't love me

I moved to Boston
Jamaica plain
Where I kissed my best friend
In the warm summer rain
In the warm summer rain

So simple
I've lived a whole life through
But I don't remember nothing
Before you

New York City
Fell in love with a man
He asked me to marry
And I gave him my hand
I gave him my hand

So simple
I've lived a whole life through
But I don't remember nothing
Before you

I ended my marriage
Went back home
I needed to scatter
Those ashes alone
Ashes alone

So simple
I've lived a whole life through
But I don't remember nothing
Before you

My ocotillo, my agarita
My diamond dove
I thought I knew
Something of love

By the cold spring river
In the warm summer air
Felt like I knew you
Like we'd always been there

So simple
I've lived a whole life through
But I haven't loved no one
Before you
