Lyrics Rock 'N' Roll Medley: Things/Here Comes Summer/This Ole House/It Might as Well Rain Till September/Wooden Heart - Susan McCann

Every night, I sit here by my window
Staring at the lonely avenue
Watching lovers holdin' hands and laughin'
And thinkin' about the things we used to do

Thinkin' about things like a walk in the park
Things like a kiss in the dark
Things like a sailboat ride
What about the night we cried
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' about the things we used to do

Here comes summer, school is out, oh happy day
Here comes summer, I'm grab my guy and run away
If he's willin', we'll go swimmin' every day
And let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home

School's not so bad but the summer's better
Gives me more time to see my guy
Walks in the park 'neath the shiny moon
When we kiss, he makes a flattop curl

It's summer, feel his lips so close to mine
Here comes summer, when we meet our hearts entwine
It's the greatest, let's have summer all the time
And let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home

This ole house once knew the children
This ole house once knew the wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As they fought the stormy life

This ole house once rang with laughter
This ole house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness
When the lights on the wall go out

Ain't a gonna need this house no longer
Gonna need this house no more
Ain't got time to fix the shingles
Ain't got time to fix the floor
Ain't got time to oil the hinges
Nor to mend those window panes
Ain't gonna need this house no longer
I'm a gettin' ready to meet his fate

The weather here has been as nice as it can be
Although it doesn't really matter much to me
For all the fun I'll have while you're so far away
It might as well have rained until September

I don't need sunny skies for things I have to do
'Cause I stay home the whole day long and think of you
As far as I'm concerned, each day's a rainy day
So it might as well rain until September

Can't you see I love you?
Please, don't break my heart in two
That's not hard to do
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart

And if you say goodbye
Then I know that I would cry
Maybe I would die
'Cause I don't have a wooden heart

There's no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Treat me nice, treat me good
Treat me like you really should
I'm not made of wood
And I don't have a wooden heart
