You got that patience—well, most of the time
Always dropping a joke just to lighten my mind
No matter the weather, whatever we go through
I look to my side and I'm looking at you
You're a good man, Eric, steady and true
Always showing you care in the things that you do
ChorusI wish we could go back to our very first date
At Margaritaville, just staying out late
You were such a gentleman, treating me right
I just want to rewind to the joy of that night
We stepped outside and we talked for hours
Yeah, I remember it like it was yesterday
Verse 2The conversation flowed, we didn't want it to end
I knew right away I found more than a friend
We left the table but we couldn't leave the scene
Standing in the night air, felt just like a dream
You were so nice, paying attention to me
Showing me exactly how good love could be
ChorusI wish we could go back to our very first date
At Margaritaville, just staying out late
You were such a gentleman, treating me right
I just want to rewind to the joy of that night
We stepped outside and we talked for hours
Yeah, I remember it like it was yesterday
BridgeNo matter what we go through, you're still right here
Always so caring, making everything clear
But sometimes I just want to pause the clock
Go back to the beginning, just stand there and talk
It was truly enjoyable, the best that I've known
The moment I knew I wouldn't be alone
Final ChorusI wish we could go back to our very first date
At Margaritaville, just staying out late
You were such a gentleman, treating me right
I just want to rewind to the joy of that night
We stepped outside and we talked for hours
Yeah, I remember it like it was yesterday
Eric, I remember it like it was yesterday
