Street Memories

I would look down that desolate street Where you and I would meet. In my eyes I see you walking towards me And my heart would skip a beat. I’d see the smile upon your face And feel the tenderness of your embrace. I’d hear your laughter echoing in my ears Which would take away the tears. This street of memories stays in my mind For my love for you leaves me blind. The store fronts that we would go into To get out of the rain. And look at the children with their Noses against the window panes. This street which is walked by every one Will never tell the things we’ve done. When we opened up a fire hydrant So that the children could play Then we laughed and ran away. The day that we looked to see If any cops were around And tried to fry eggs on the ground. And when we tied a frank on our dogs tail He would go in circles and start to wail. Then we would give him his favorite treat A cold ice cream to beat the heat. These are the things I recall As I look down this street. This street where you and I would meet !
