Sweet Evening Breeze Lyrics - Mellencamp John Cougar

I was loud and a little sad 

She was visiting from Atlanta, Georgia 

She had come to spend the summer with me 

I thought she was very pretty 

We would kiss and hold hands 

Every night by the football field 

Her body was tan 

>From the faternoons by the public swimming pool 

CHORUS 

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 

CHORUS 

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 now 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 

CHORUS
