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
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

Recently I found the program I used to download music while I was in college. The program had since been shut down, the songs wouldn't play. All I was left with was a list of the music that took me through college. Anyways. I went though hundreds of song titles, finally coming to this one. I take comfort in this song, it reminds me of my first boyfriend obviously. We were together for five years. We started dating in high school and grew up together. Once at college, we slept tangled up in each other in my tiny twin sized bed. He was perfect, I can't recall one time he was mean to me. Yet it ended. He will always be my first love, and I do always think about him at Christmastime...
