The Hat
Michaelson Ingrid Lyrics

I knitted you a hat all blue and gold
I made you a hat using blue and gold yarn.

To keep your ears warm from the Binghamton cold
I made the hat so you can stay warm in the cold weather of Binghamton.

It was my first one and it was too small
It was the first hat I ever made, but it turned out to be too small.

It didn't fit you at all, but you wore it just the same
Even though the hat didn't fit, you still wore it because it was made by me.

I remember the first time we danced
I have a clear memory of the first time we danced together.

I remember tunneling through the snow like ants
I remember us having fun playing in the snow, like we were ants burrowing through tunnels.

What I don't recall is why I said
However, I can't remember why I said what I said.

"I simply can't sleep in this tiny bed with you anymore"
I can't remember why I said, "I can't sleep in this small bed with you anymore"

I should tell you that you were my first love
I want to let you know that you were my first love.

So it's Christmas time, it's been three years
It's now been three years since Christmas time.

And someone else is knitting things for your ears
Someone else is now making things for you to keep your ears warm.

I have come to learn I'll only see you interrupting my dreams at night
I have learned that I will only see you in my dreams at night.

And that's alright. And that's alright
Even though our relationship didn't work out, it's okay.

And that's alright. And that's alright
We can still be okay, even though we can't be together.

(And it's alright) we were seventeen again together
It's alright that we can't be together now because we can still remember when we were both seventeen and in love.

I should tell you that you were my first love
Again, I want to let you know that you were my first love.

And it's alright. And it's alright. And it's alright
Everything is okay and we can move on with our lives.

(And it's alright) we were seventeen again together
Even though time has passed, we can still remember the love we shared when we were younger and nothing else mattered.

(And it's alright) we were seventeen again together
It's okay to hold on to those good memories and cherish them forever.

We were seventeen again
We were young and in love again.

We were seventeen again
We can never relive those moments, but we can still remember them.

We were seventeen again
Even though we're older now, we can still be young at heart in our memories.
