Remembering the good old times of summer love...

Lyrics

City Limit Sign

© 2007 Lyrics: Leigh Mullis, Music: Steve Hacker

[Verse 1]

It was the summer of ?99, the summer when my heart belonged to him.
That July sun it sure would shine, but the light of love we shared would never dim.
At age sixteen life gets tough and the wait of the world falls on you, but when I saw that smile of his everything seemed simple and true.

[Chorus]

Sneaking out at 3am just to get a glimpse of him and knowing in my heart that he was mine.
Lying on the hood of that old Trans Am I became exactly who I am.
There was no care in my mind.
When he?d meet me at that City Limit Sign.

[Verse 2]

Well years flew by and apart we grew. I forgot what it was like to be in love.
In my narrow point of view there was no one else I could be more proud of.
I drove by him one day in town so I decided to roll my window down and
invite him back to the place where I left my heart, where the grass and the pavement part.

[Chorus]

Sneaking out at 3am just to get a glimpse of him and still knowing in my heart that he was mine.
Talking about the times we had and how being with him made me glad,
and how he walked right out of my life.
Just reliving moments at that City Limit Sign.

[Bridge]

Pretty much by now I hate to watch him leave,
?cause it takes me back to a time when I was so naïve.

[Chorus]

When I snuck out at 3am just to get a glimpse of him still knowing in my heart that he was mine.
Talking about the times we had and how being with him made me glad,
and how he walked right out of my life.
Oh how he walked right out of my life.
Just reliving moments at that City Limit Sign.

(ooh) That City Limit Sign (ooh). Oh that City Limit Sign (ooh)(ooh)(ooh)
