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
