I was thinking back to the first time we met | |
Over plangent chords in a sad vignette | |
You were waving goodbye in a cherry red corvette | |
And your lips were too | |
Cherry red that is, with the sky so blue | |
It was almost mean and your eyes were too | |
So blue that is, now | |
I am tooAnd my heart burns cherry red for you | |
Now my heart burns cherry red for you | |
Like a fire of beech wood, the saw don’t like it | |
But you get some cut, one match will strike it | |
And the embers glow till the wee small hours | |
When the old seems almost new | |
That’s when my heart burns cherry red for you | |
It was cherry red with the custom flames | |
At the hot rod show when the | |
Kingsmen came | |
And that bass guitar, it rattled my frame | |
And it shook you too | |
The corvette was | |
Big Daddy | |
Roth’s design | |
Get your picture for a dollar and have it signed | |
First you got yours then | |
I got mine | |
And my heart burned cherry red for you | |
Now my heart burns cherry red for you | |
Like a fire of beech wood, the saw don’t like it | |
But you get some cut, one match will strike it | |
And the embers glow till the wee small hours | |
When the old seems almost new | |
That’s when my heart burns cherry red for you | |
That’s when my heart burns cherry red | |
My heart burns cherry red | |
That’s when my heart burns cherry red for you | |
Now that fake blue sky, it sure looks real | |
Like you were goin’ to | |
California to make a deal | |
With the God of youth, with the man of steel | |
Waving toodle-oo | |
Now if I was young | |
I might track you down | |
But this old picture is all | |
I foundNow my bones are shakin’, my teeth are ground down | |
But my heart burns cherry red for you | |
Yeah, my heart burns cherry red for you | |
Like a fire of beech wood, the saw don’t like it | |
But you get some cut, one match will strike it | |
And the embers glow till the wee small hours | |
When the old seems almost new | |
That’s when my heart burns cherry red | |
That’s when my heart burns cherry red | |
That’s when my heart burns cherry red for you |
