Summer (The First Time)

Was a hot afternoon, the last day of June The sun was a demon The clouds were afraid, 110 in the shade And the pavement was steaming I told Ellie May in a red Chevrolet I needed some time for thinking I was just passing by when I caught your lil' eye And I swore it was winking You were thirty-one, I was seventeen I knew nothing 'bout love, you knew everything But I sat down beside you on a front porch swing Wondering what the coming night would bring What would it bring? Hey, oh, Lord The sun closed your eyes as it climbed in the sky And it started to swelter The sweat trickled down the front of my gown I thought it would melt me I threw back my hair like you weren't there And you sipped on your coco beer My shoulders were bare, you tried not to stare But your look, it was so sincere When you looked at me, I heard you softly say "I know you're young, you don't know what to do or say "Just stay with me until the sun has gone away "And I will chase the girl in you away "I'll chase it away, I'll chase the girl away" (oh) Then you smiled, we talked for a while We walked for a mile, just you and me We sat on the park, on the grass in the dark And I saw the sunrise, I became a woman Do you understand that ten years has gone by Since I saw the look in your eye? But the memory, oh, still lingers I go back in my mind to the very first time I felt the touch of your fingers I felt the touch of your fingers Oh, I felt the touch, babe 'Cause I did now There's also the bad times That you and I both remember And through it all, we both know that Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye Goodbye (Goodbye, baby, goodbye) now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye Goodbye (oh, goodbye, goddamn, gotta leave you now) (Goodbye, baby, goodbye) now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye Goodbye (oh, bye, bye, bye, bye) Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye (goodbye, au revoir) Goodbye (goodbye) (Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye) now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye Goodbye (ooh-ooh) Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye (hey, ay) Now is the time to say goodbye, goodbye Goodbye
