Another Memory

Summer day and a few minutes to spare Take a swing around where the old school once stood Finding only a parking lot and a tear in my eye Another memory destroyed by progress Pep rally in the school yard How she smiled in her innocence Laughing all the way to the corner store Pinball's in the back room Lucky dangling from the corner of your mouth Two for a nickel to play it cool Running Scared playing on the juke box Maybe tonight in the park Another memory fills my eyes Dancing in the auditorium Drifters singing Save The Last Dance For Me A soft kiss with Goodnight Sweetheart Goodnight Heart pounds. See you Monday Walking those halls with her books under your arm Passing notes in the classroom Detention again. Oh no! Hitch hiking home. Back on the bus in the morning. No Smoking!! Prayer and Pledge. A new day starts Sadie Hawkins Dance? Yes, I'll see you there Bobbie socks and pedal pushers Just another memory.
