Lyrics

I've got a sweet piece
of art
I pulled it from
my heart

it's just a Yearbook picture
that I found of you
it's just my lovely memory

The color of your hair
Your eyes, your Van Gogh stare

Your starry cold, cold fire
it was the light on my way
my cherished golden memory

Way down South where the feelings
get buried
under covers

All of those nights we sang all those songs
til dawn
I memorized each lyric that you
doted on

and now I'm dreaming of
the summer no one knew
you were my love...

It's 30 years ago
your picture's still perfect
but I still want to know
what could've happened for us
if we'd just had our chance
to make some lovely memories!

Way down South
where the heart gets buried
Under cover..

No one it seems knows whether
you lived or died
Guess I will keep my little dream
inside

and go on thinking of
the summer no one knew you were mine
and go on thinking of
the summer no one knew you were mine
and go one dreaming of
the summer no one knew
you were my love....
