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
