Walking along beneath the lights of that miracle mile
Me and Mary making our way into the night
You can hear the cries from the carnival rides,
The pinball bells, and the skee-ball slides
Watching the summer sun fall out of sight.
There’s a warm wind coming in from off of the ocean
Making it’s way past the hotel walls to fill the street
Mary is holding both of her shoes in her hand
Said she likes to feel the sand beneath her feet.
And in the morning I’m leaving, making my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don’t see how you could ever be
Anything but mine.
There’s a local band playing at the seaside pavillion
And I’ve got just enough cash to get us in
And as we are dancing, Mary’s wrapping her arms around me
And I can feel the sting of summer on my skin.
In the midst of the music I tell her I love her
And we both laugh, ;cause we know it isn’t true
Ah, but Mary, there’s a summer drawing to an end tonight
And there’s so much that I long to do to you.
But in the morning I’m leaving, making my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don’t see how you could ever be
Anything but mine.
[Instrumental:]
And in the morning I’m leaving, making my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don’t see how you could ever be
Anything but mine.
Mary, I don’t see how you could ever be
Anything but mine.
[Instrumental:]
And in the morning I’m leaving, making my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I will do just fine
And I don’t see how you could ever be
Anything but mine…
