John Mellencamp - Sweet Evening Breeze Lyrics
I was loud and a little sadShe was visiting from atlanta, georgiaShe had come to spend the summer with her dadI thought she was very prettyWe would kiss and hold handsEvery night by the football fieldHer body was tanFrom the afternoons by the public swimming poolChorus:Sweet evening breezeBlows around my thoughts and memoriesAs I lie here todayAnd drink my teaI can still seeSweet evening breezeI saw her in a coffee shopIn a big hotel down in austin, texasShe had cut her long hair offAnd replaced it withBlue eyes of sadnessStill acted like we were kidsAnd she told me that she had to marryAnd she asked me if I didStill rememberChorus:Sweet evening breezeBlows around my thoughts and memoriesAs I lie here todayAnd drink my teaI can still seeSweet evening breezeHow redundant the future can beThese days of old are very, veryRidiculous for me to seeWhen I think about the real gone storiesAnd how time holds the winning handI can tell by the lines on our facesAnd the young cant understandThat they look at meWhen they look at themselvesChorus:Oh, sweet evening breezeBlows around my thoughts and memoriesAs I lie here todayAnd drink my teaI can still seeSweet evening breeze
