/
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.
