Sweet Evening Breeze Lyrics - John Mellencamp

Written by: John Mellencamp 

I was loud and a little sad. 

She was visiting from Atlanta, Georgia. 

She had come to spend the summer with her dad. 

I thought she was very pretty. 

We would kiss and hold hands 

Every night by the football field. 

Her body was tan 

From the afternoons by the public swimming pool. 

Sweet evening breeze 

Blows around my thoughts and memories. 

As I lie here today 

And drink my tea, 

I can still see 

Sweet evening breeze.

I saw her in a coffee shop 

In a big hotel down in Austin, Texas. 

She had cut her long hair off 

And replaced it with 

Blue eyes of sadness. 

Still acted like we were kids 

And she told me that she had to marry 

And she asked me if I did 

Still remember. 

Sweet evening breeze 

Blows around my thoughts and memories. 

As I lie here today 

And drink my tea, 

I can still see 

Sweet evening breeze. 

Photos 

How redundant the future can be. 

These days of old are very, very 

Ridiculous for me to see 

When I think about the real gone stories 

And how time holds the winning hand. 

I can tell by the lines on our faces 

And the young can't understand 

That they look at me 

When they look at themselves. 

Oh, sweet evening breeze 

Blows around my thoughts and memories. 

As I lie here today 

And drink my tea, 

I can still see 

Sweet evening breeze.
