Maple Street Memories

We were both nine years old when you came to town

I remember the big Allied Van

My dad gave your dad a hand

And the first time I saw you was through the screen door

When the paper I threw missed the porch

Lord it’s been years since I carried the news

But I still carry the torch

Summer nights and ice cream cones

But leave my Maple Street memories alone

Leave my Maple Street memories alone

I was easy to find I admit

The fact I thought you were it

Then we stood by the Lilac bush in your yard

Your pink prom gown laced in vein

Your mom took our picture I took your hand

And you took my breath away

And look at your window upstairs

Blowing kisses at me in the air

Then one time at Christmas I saw you come home

Your arms full of children that day

It was later that night when I put mine to bed

I put my Maple Street memories away

Summer nights and bicycle games

But take those Maple Street memories away

Take those Maple Street memories away
