It was the last day of summer
It was the first
Of a new romance
He walked into her on the corner
She said I don't dance
He said Baby let me teach you
She said O.K when
He said How can
I reach you baby
I'd really like
To see you again
He picked her up
On a Friday night
He took her for
A bite to eat
His heart was beating
And his hands were shaking
She thought he was sweet
And he stood on her shoes
On the dance floor
Well they were doing
It cheek to cheek
And he walked her home
And he kissed her
He was walking on air all week
Well they couldn't
Stand to be apart
They couldn't leave
One another alone
Her mama used to say
It's getting late sweetheart
It's time that boy went home
And upstairs papa kissed mama
And she gave him a sweet caress
He said Here's to the
Two young lovers
Let's wish em every happiness
It was the last day of summer
They came walking
Home hand in hand
They went and told her mama
They showed her
The wedding band
Mama cried and poured the wine
Papa just said God Bless
Now here's to the
Two young lovers
Let's wish 'em every happiness
