Oh Tannis
This lyric is about a girl named Tannis, who I met when I was 23 living in San Francisco. She was truly my first woman that I ever fell in love with. She was from British Columbia, and was only living in San Francisco on a visa to go to college. I knew one day that she would leave to go back, and that our love would probably be no more. Even to this day, at 63 years old, I think about her, and what might have been if she didn't have to go back to Canada.

Oh Tannis
Oh Tannis
Oh Tannis
You were my love
And I was once yours
We fit like a glove
I wish there had been more
Your blue eyes
As blue as the sky
The day you said goodbye
Was the day my heart cried
Oh Tannis
Oh Tannis
Oh Tannis
Why did you have to go
I guess I'll never know
I was so young
Only twenty three
Was I so dumb
To think you loved me
Love can be blind
It was for me
Is there any other kind
Not that I can see
Oh Tannis
Oh Tannis
Oh Tannis
Why did you have to go
I guess I'll never know
Oh Tannis
Oh Tannis
Oh Tannis
Why did you have to go
I guess I'll never know
I still dream about you
You can't steal those
You would if you could
I suppose
You stole my heart
And left me crumbled
Right from the start
I was humbled
Oh Tannis
Oh Tannis
Oh Tannis
Why did you have to go
I guess I'll never know
Oh Tannis
Oh Tannis
Oh Tannis
Why did you have to go
I guess I'll never know
Yeah, I thought I was the shit
I just knew I had it
I thought I could get any girl
Around my finger, to twirl
You stole my heart
And left me crumbled
Right from the start
I was humbled
Oh Tannis
Oh Tannis
Oh Tannis
Why did you have to go
I guess I'll never know
Oh Tannis
Oh Tannis
Oh Tannis
Why did you have to go
I guess I'll never know
