Versuri oltsev art – That Summer Night in 1958 lyrics

We’d sit out past the supper hour when the heat began to break
On the front steps of your mother’s house on Sycamore in Maine
The neighbors had their sprinklers on, there was music from the lake
And the summer felt like something you could hold inside your hands

You wore your hair pinned back that night we drove to Callaway
The radio was drifting between stations on the hill
We stopped the car and watched the stars come out above the bay
And you said, „Let’s just stay here till the world forgets its hurry”

And Lord, I should have known right then
What I was standing in the middle of
Some summers are a whole life
Dressed up as one evening

Oh, take me back to the last long summer
When the fireflies were rising and the nights were soft and slow
When your laugh was the only song worth learning
And tomorrow was a country we had never had to know
Take me back, oh, take me back
To the last long summer

Now the grandkids ask me what the old days really felt like
And I try to find the words, but they keep slipping past my reach
It wasn’t just the music or the way the light would fall right
It was knowing there was someone I was happy just to breathe beside

And maybe that’s the ache of it
That beauty doesn’t know it’s beautiful
Until the light is shifted
And the evening’s finally still

Maybe we were only young
Maybe love was always meant to pass through us like weather
But when the summer’s in the air
And the world is finally quiet
I still feel you somewhere in the warmth
Like we never said forever, we just stayed

So, take me back to the last long summer
When the fireflies were rising and the nights were soft and slow
And your laugh was the only song worth learning
And tomorrow was a country we had never had to know
Take me back, oh, take me back
One more time, take me back
To the last long summer
