[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming, melodic lead guitar fills] [Verse 1] [bass and drums enter] The year was '59, life was easy and a friend of mine I was running wild and free And every bit of nineteen It was summer under Florida's sun She was older and had married young And running from someone or thing Running right into my dreams [Chorus] Margo don't go, I begged her stay Don't let the moment slip away I was a child, I didn't know How much it meant to me, Margo [Verse 2] It was love at first sight, it was magic under full moonlight As we walked along the water's edge And hand in hand we made our pledge Somewhere there among the dunes On that sultry night in June She loved a boy into a man And she made me understand [Chorus] Margo don't go, I begged her stay Don't let the memory slip away I was a child, she was alone Margo I wonder where you've gone [Bridge] [guitar solo with melodic bends] It was over before it began Two hearts left on a blanket of sand Left there to wash away To different shores we've cast away It was just a moment in time A step across a silken line That I will keep with me always Until my dying day [Chorus] Margo I know you couldn't stay But that moment's never slipped away I was a child, how could I know How much you'd mean to me, Margo Margo I know you couldn't stay But that moment's never slipped away I was a child, but did you know How much you meant to me, Margo How much you mean to me, Margo [acoustic guitar fades out]
