Summer (the First Time) Lyrics - Singles - Goldsboro Bobby

It was a hot afternoon 

Last day of June 

And the sun was a demon 

The clouds were afraid 

One ten in the shade 

And the pavement was steaming 

I told Billy Ray 

In his red Chevrolet 

I needed time for some thinking 

I was just walking by 

When I looked in her eye 

And I swore it was winking 

She was thirty one and I was seventeen 

I knew nothing about love, she knew everything 

When I sat down beside her on the front porch swing 

And wondered what the coming night would bring 

The sun closed her eyes 

As it climbed in the sky 

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 away 

And then she smiled then we talked for a while 

Then we walked for a mile to the sea 

We sat on the sand, and the boy took her hand 

But I saw the sun rise as a man 

Ten years have gone by 

Since I looked in her eye 

But the memory lingers 

I got back in my mind 

To the very first time 

And feel the touch of her fingers 

It was a hot afternoon 

Last day of June 

And the sun was a demon 

The clouds were afraid 

One ten in the shade 

And the pavement was steaming
