summer evening 1947


the night is warm
stars are in the sky
lighting up the world
like ten thousand fireflies
and you are here with me
out on the front porch
you ask me if I love you
the answer is "of course"

          all is good here
          I will not be leaving
          all I want is to be with you
          on this summer evening

your parents are in the house
they won't bother us here
let all your apprehension
finally disappear
the night is silent
there isn't much to do
except sit on the porch swing
right next to you

          all is good here
          and I will be believing
          that I'll be beside you
          on this summer evening

in the dead of winter
when the world is gray
I'll think about the porch swing
and hope for sunny days
I will long remember
the warmth inside your eyes 
and your memory will soothe me
as the snow falls from the sky

          all is good here
          in every breath I'm breathing
          I will remember you
          on this summer evening
