Lyrics Things / Here Comes Summer / This Ole House - Susan McCann

Rock n Roll Medley

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
