Takes Me Back Again - Phil Vassar

Sunset beach we were just eighteen

We were out of school, out of here, lean and mean

Star-crossed lovers making our last stand

Making time, making wishes, making love in the sand

We sang Brown Eyed Girl till dawn

And then you were gone

I hear that song and it always takes me back

I sing along and I feel like that

I get lost in the memory

Of you and me

And it comforts me like an old friend

And takes me back again

It was a different girl and a different dream

I was twenty-one, spring break in New Orleans

Hurricane rain and Mardi Gras beads

It felt so damn good to be so damn free

We sang Walking In Memphis on Bourbon Street

No shoes on our feet

I hear that song and it always takes me back

I sing along and I feel like that

I get lost in the memory

Of you and me

And it comforts me like an old friend

And takes me back again

Don’t know where you are tonight, girl, it’s been a while

So many roads, so many miles

But I hope you’ll think of me and smile

Well, I hear that song and it always takes me back

I sing along and I feel like that

I get lost in the memory

Of you and me

It comforts me like an old friend, ooh-ooh

And it moves my soul like a summer wind

But it takes me back again

Oh, it takes me back again

Takes me back again
