You've traveled the river from end to end Never found a true love anywhere you've been You never broke a heart that wouldn't mend On such a lovely summer night Your hands' in your pockets as the band begin Stand by the window, a touch of locust in the wind And this might be just one more town you'll say you've been in On such a lovely summer night You take your chances when you start to roam Waiting for slow dances and you ask to walk her home And if she says please stay, you'll say, "I might" On such a lovely summer night You hold her close, yeah, and look her in the eye You make her laugh then sing that one song to make her cry And maybe this is that one town where there's no goodbye On such a lovely summer night You take your chances when you start to roam Waiting for slow dances and you ask to walk her home And if she says please stay, you'll say, "I might" On such a lovely summer night On such a lovely summer night
