<font size="3"><strong>1959 <br /></strong><font size="1">(for my mother Claudia)</font><br /></font><br />I remember the days when drive-ins where in <br />Back in 1959 <br />I was just a kid then I had no money to pay <br />I’d sneak around the old farmer’s field <br />I’d lay on the grass and look at the stars <br />On that old silver screen <br />I couldn’t hear a sound <br />So I’d mainly look up at the stars up in the sky <br /><br />I want to go back in time to see if I can find <br />The child I used to know <br />Ask if it’s alright if I can stay for a while <br />Cause I’d like to see my mother smile <br />I’d like to see my mother smile <br /><br />Well those times are dear <br />And the memories so clear <br />There just like yesterday <br />When my world was bright and to my delight <br />Shone like a brand new car <br />The drive-in is now closed <br />And there’s holes in the screen <br />And those cars have all turned to rust <br /><br />I want to go back in time to see if I can find <br />The child I used to know <br />Ask if it’s alright if I can stay for awhile <br />Cause I’d like to see my mother smile <br /> I’d like to see my mother smile <br /><br />I remember the days when drive-ins where in <br />Back in 1959 <br />I was just a kid then I had no money to pay <br />I’d sneak around the old farmer’s field <br />I’d lay on the grass and look at the stars <br />On that big old silver screen <br />I couldn’t hear a sound <br />So I’d mainly look up at the stars up in the sky <br /><br />I want to go back in time to see if I can find <br />The child I used to know and ask if it’s alright <br />If I can stay for a while <br />cause I’d like to see my mother smile <br />I’d like to see my mother smile<br /> I’d like to see my mother smile <br /><br />
