She'd sit by the radio waitin' for those songs
With her tape recorder knew it could take long
Had a stack of cassettes and a heart full of dreams
Making a mix tape for her or so it would seem
Mixtape memories playin' in her mind
Songs of love and heartache one of a kind
She'd press record with a smile on her face
Those mixtape memories time can't erase
She'd hand him that tape with a blush and a grin
He'd listen to the songs let the magic begin
In the hallways of school their love took flight
With every melody their hearts felt so right
Mixtape memories playin' in her mind
Songs of love and heartache one of a kind
She'd press record with a smile on her face
Those mixtape memories time can't erase
Each song a story each tune a start
Of a love that grew straight from the heart
Now she looks back with a twinkle in her eye
Those mixtape memories make her spirit fly
Years have rolled on but the love still remains
From those high school days through life's many lanes
She still has those tapes tucked away with care
And her high school sweetheart is still standin' there
Mixtape memories playin' in her mind
Songs of love and heartache one of a kind
She'd press record with a smile on her face
Those mixtape memories time can't erase
So here's to those nights with the radio's glow
To the girl and her boy watch their love grow
Mixtape memories from the start to the end
A love story written a mixtape for her man
