SUMMERTIME MEMORY

All it takes is just a song
to take me back to where I long
to see old friends, old loves gone by
tender hearts that wonder why

Was it just so simple then
Saturday night dates I remember when
Drive-in movies, summer dances
Starlight skies set for romancing

Nighttime jasmine filled the air
Cool summer breeze through my hair
Feeling complete you’re by my side
Love in the air no need to hide

Now those yesterdays fill my mind
Soft sung lyrics not hard to find
For all it takes is just a song
to take me back to where I long.
