Cherry Bowl Drive-In Songtext

von Joshua Kadison

Saw her at the Texaco just the other day.
Even more beautiful, her hair had a touch of gray.
We both stood and stared at each other, couldn't say a word.
Then I said, "God, it's good to see you."
And she said, "Well, have you heard...

Saw her at the Texaco just the other day.
Even more beautiful, her hair had a touch of gray.
We both stood and stared at each other, couldn't say a word.
Then I said, "God, it's good to see you."
And she said, "Well, have you heard...

Then I said, "Little Melissa, she's lookin' more and more like you.
Saw her down on Maple Street, she's even got your same smile, too.
And my Jake Jr. says, ‘Daddy, someday I'm gonna marry that girl.'
Isn't that just perfect? Such a crazy world.
"So they're tearin' down the Cherry Bowl Drive-In tomorrow,
Where I first kissed you and ran my fingers through your hair.
She's goin' the way all things must go someday
But I will still remember you there.
Yes, I will. Yes, I will.
I will still remember you there.

"Hey, can you get away tomorrow?
If you can't I understand.
It's just that when the big screen falls,
I'd like to holdin' your hand,
Holdin' your hand

"when they're tearin' down the Cherry Bowl Drive-In tomorrow,
Where I first kissed you and ran my fingers through your hair.
She's goin' the way all things must go someday
But I will still remember you there.
Yes, I will. Yes, I will.
I will still remember us there.
