Summer(The First Time.)Bobby Goldsboro.
#18 in 1973.
INTRO:
#1.
It was a hot afternoon, the last day of June,
and the sun was a demon.
The clouds were afraid, one ten in the shade,
and the pavement was steamin'.
#2.
I told Billy Ray in his red Chevrolet,
I needed time for some thinkin'.
I was just walking by when I looked in her eye,
and I swore it was winkin'.
CHORUS:
She was thirty-one, and I was seventeen,
I knew nothing about love, she knew everything.
But I sat down beside her on that front porch swing,
and wondered what the coming night would bring.
#3.
The sun closed her eyes as it climbed in the skies,
and it started to swelter.
The sweat trickled down the front of her gown,
I thought it would melt her.
#4.
She threw back her hair like I wasn't there,
she sipped on a Julep.
Her shoulders were bare, and I tried not to stare,
when I looked at her two lips.
CHORUS:#2:
And when she looked at me, I heard her softly say,
'I know you're young, you don't know what to do or say.
But stay with me until the sun has gone away,
and I will chase the boy in you away.
And then she smiled, then we talked for a while,
and we walked for a mile to the sea.
We sat on the sand, and the boy took her hand,
but he saw the sun rise as a man.
(x2)
#5.
Ten years have gone by since I looked in her eyes,
but the memory lingers.
I go back in my mind to the very first time,
feel the touch of her fingers.
OUTRO:
It was a hot afternoon, the last day of June,
and the sun was a demon...
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
