Summer (The First Time) Lyrics by Bobby Goldsboro

Honey - The Best of Bobby Goldsboro (Remastered)

0

*Beach sounds*

[Verse 1]
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 steaming

[Verse 2]
I told Billy Ray
In his red Chevrolet
I needed time for some thinkin'
I was just walkin' by
When I looked in her eye
And swore it was winkin'

[Chorus]
She was thirty-one, and I was seventeen
I knew nothing about love, she knew everything
And I sat beside her on the front porch swing
And wondered what the coming night would bring

[Verse 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
And I thought it would melt her

[Verse 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]
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"

[Bridge]
And then she smiled
Then we talked for awhile
Then we walked for a mile to the sea
We sat on the sand
And a boy took her hand
But I saw the sun rise as a man

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 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
And feel the touch of her fingers

[Verse 1]
Was a hot afternoon
The last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One ten in the shade
