DANCING IN THE SUMMER RAIN

 

There was a time in our life

When we would dance all night

But that was long ago and far away.

Now time and distance stands between us,

There are those who can’t remember they had seen us

But don’t you know those memories

 are locked inside my mind

For all of time

Do you remember?

 

 

Hanging out on the overpass watching the cars

Lying out in a field looking up at the stars.

Swinging on a swing down at the park

By the light of the moon and in the cover of dark.

With our lives out in front our dreams were leading the way

Laughing at life in that little café.

We’d whisper good night then we’d slip away

Just before a summer rain.

 

And there we were beneath the willow trees,

making love on a summer breeze.

I couldn’t hold you tighter if I tried,

we couldn’t hold back what we felt inside.

I started to laugh when the raindrops came;

you got up singing some refrain

We were wet and muddy

 but how could I complain watching you

Dancing in the summer rain.

 

Now I’m still holding on to those memories,

sometimes I go back to those willow trees

And hope some night I find you there

with a song in your heart and rain in the air.

I’d tell you how much I loved you then,

and if I had the chance I’d do it all again.

Every tender kiss and tear the same,

just to see you, and to be with you

Dancing in the summer rain.

 

Dancing in the summer rain,

 laughing and splashing and shaking our thing.

Nothing ever felt so right

 than dancing with you on a warm summer night.

Dancing to the nighttime hit parade,

 God bless that radio how it played.

And all those summers we had it made

 dancing in the summer rain.
