Lyrics

I stood in the shadow of my old man
Standing in line at the ice cream stand
We waited and he held my hand
And I'd never known a moment like that

The first day of school and a big yellow bus
Stopped at our house and swallowed me up
I watched my mom disappear in the dust
And I'd never known a moment like that

Never a moment like that
The first joy and first fear I ever had
The rights of passage in unchartered lands
They're something I'll never forget

Tammy Greenwood sat in front of me
The single reason I failed Geometry
I wrote a note it said, "Do you like me?"
And I'd never known a moment like that

Never a moment like that
The first joy and first fear I ever had
The rights of passage in unchartered lands
They're something I'll never forget

Two white doves and a pink bouquet
Your daddy cried when he gave you away
A little boy now, and one on the way
And I'd never known a moment like that
