I haven't seen you in forever
You haven't changed a bit
You didn't think that I'd remember
But how could I forget

We sang 'Bobby McGee' on the hood of my car
Made a wish on every star
In that clear September sky
One bottle of wine, two Dixie cups
At three a.m. I fell in love
For the first time in my life
And that's somethin'
That just don't happen twice

To this day I still taste that first kiss
How I prayed it wouldn't end
In a way seeing you like this
I guess it never really did

We sang 'Bobby McGee' on the hood of my car
Made a wish on every star
In that clear September sky
One bottle of wine, two Dixie cups
At three a.m. I fell in love
For the first time in my life
And that's somethin'
That just don't happen twice

One bottle of wine, two Dixie cups
At three a.m. I fell in love
For the first time in my life
And that's somethin'
That just don't happen twice

That's somethin', baby that's somethin'
Oh that's somethin'
That just don't happen twice
