Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight
Katydid sing like a symphony
Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby
Melody blowing through the willow tree
What was I supposed to do / Standing there lookin' at you
A lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was Memphis / Maybe it was Southern summer nights
Maybe it was you maybe it was me / But it sure felt right
Read about you in a Faulkner novel
Met you once in a Williams play
Heard about you in country love song
Summer night beauty took my breath away
CHORUS
Every night now since I've been back home
I lie awake drifting in my memory
I think about you on your momma's front porch swing
Talking that way so soft to me
CHORUS
Maybe it was Memphis / Maybe it was Southern summer nights
Maybe it was Memphis / Maybe it was Southern summer nights
CHORUS |
