Summer the First Time Lyrics

SUMMER (THE FIRST TIME) - Bobby Goldsboro
It 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 steamin'
I told Billy Ray
in his red Chevro- let,
I needed time for some thinkin'.
I was just walking by
when I looked in her eye,
and I swore it was winkin'.
She was thirty-one, and I was seventeen,
I knew nothing about love, she knew everything.
But I sat down beside her on that front porch swing,
and wondered what the coming night would bring.

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,
I thought it would melt her.
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.
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 a- way.

And then she smiled, then we talked for a while,
and we walked for a mile to the sea.
We sat on the sand, and the boy took her hand,
but he saw the sun rise as a man.

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,
feel the touch of her fingers.
It was a hot afternoon,
the last day of June,
and the sun was a demon...
