But it was long ago and it was far away, oh God it seems so very far
And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car
And objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are
Yeah you keep on telling me life is short
And its hard to disagree with what you say
But if time is so precious why are you wasting mine?
Cause I’m always reading
Always deleting
Every useless piece of garbage that you send my way
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only given to a man with hands as cold as ice
You’re as cold as ice,
You’re willing to sacrifice our love.
You never take advice,
Someday you’ll pay the price, I know.
You make up your mind, you choose the chance you take
You ride to where the highway ends and the desert breaks
Out on to an open road you ride until the day
You learn to sleep at night with the price you pay
I’ve been to the desert on a horse with no name, it felt good to get out of the rain…
Isn’t this a lovely day to be caught in the rain.
You were going on your way, now you’ve got to remain.
Just as you were going, leaving me all at sea,
The clouds broke, they broke and oh what a break for me.
Now I will stand in the rain on the corner
I watch the people go shuffling downtown
Another ten minutes no longer
And then I’m turning around, 'round
And the clock on the wall’s moving slower
Oh, my heart it sinks to the ground
And the storm that I thought would blow over
Clouds the light of the love that I found, found
Just for a moment I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And, as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain
Pain in my heart
Is treating me cold
Where can my baby be?
Lord no one knows
Oh, where oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me
She’s gone to heaven, so I got to be good
So I can see my baby when I leave this world
Yes sir, that’s my baby,
No sir, I don’t mean maybe,
Yes sir, that’s my baby now.
Babe, baby, baby, I’m gonna leave you.
I said baby, you know I’m gonna leave you.
I’ll leave you when the summertime
Leave you when the summer comes a rollin’
Leave you when the summer comes along.
See you in September,
See you when the summer’s through.
Here we are, saying goodbye at the station,
Summer vacation
Is taking you away.
Summer’s almost gone
We had some good times
But they’re gone
The winter’s comin’ on
Summer’s almost gone
Summer breeze makes me feel fine,
Blowin’ through the jasmine in my mind…
Smiling like a superstar the morning comes in singing
The promise of another sunny day
And all the flowers open up to gather in the sunshine
I do believe that summer’s here to stay
It’s summertime summertime sum sum summertime
Summertime summertime sum sum summertime
Summertime summertime sum sum summertime
Summertime summertime sum sum summertime summertime.
Well shut them books and throw 'em away
And say goodbye to dull school days
Look alive and change your ways
It’s summertime.
School’s out for summer!
It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me, keepers of the gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune
