Once Upon A Summertime Songtext / Lyric

A summer night on your roof

Somebody set the stars loose

You brought a blanket

I brought strawberry wine



We waited on the sky

Dusk, on the fourth of July

You kept my hands from crossing the line

And when, the fireworks exploded

That night it was recorded like a movie

I play it back in my mind

Hey, I wrote this song to thank you

For a sacred night that rang true

Once upon a summertime






The sky turned to flame

I carved our names

Beneath the magnolia

I told you my heart

Wouldn't change

Do your eyes still shine?

Like it's summertime



At the drive-in we'd meet

In the Buick's back seat

And find the cracker jack prize in the dark

Back home, your father would come out



He'd say, "What was the movie about?"

I said, "A ghost".

You said, "A great white shark."



Did I dream you like some vision?

You moved me like religion

Like a prophet, I said,

"You'll be mine"

I was singing halleluiah

Ain't love so peculiar?

When spring gives into summertime?



How how could I lose?

How could you refuse?

After the very first time

Everything changes

Everything changes
