Lyrics
Do you remember way back when
We lived above Franks Grill (and then)
We'd sit outside on the cafe steps
and wave to friends who walked on by
We'd watch the mimes, their magic tricks
The kids playing swords with sticks
We danced to the band on the avenue
All that I want to do
Watching your face I dreamed with you
Under the Southern Skies
It worked out fine for awhile
You and I and time gone by
Until I saw your gaze meet his on that summer night
I felt you tighten in my arms
but I would never wish you harm
We danced to the band on the avenue
All that I want to do
Watching your face I dreamed with you
Under the Southern Skies
You told me a long time ago
You would not cry if I tried to go
Then it was you who walked away
with him into the night
How did I end up here again
Looking back and looking in
Guess I'll do some traveling
to a place that my heart holds
We danced to the band on the avenue
In my mind that will do
Watching your face I dream of you
Under the southern skies
Watching your face I dream of you
All that I want to do
Under the southern skies
Until the day I die.
