Bobby Goldsboro - Little Things Lyrics

It was a hot afternoon, last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid, one-ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming

I told Billy-Ray in his red Chevrolet
I needed time for some thinking
I was just walking by when I looked in her eye
And I swore it was winking

She was 31 and I was 17
I knew nothing about love, she knew everything
And I sat down beside her on the front porch swing
And wondered what the coming night would bring

The sun closed her eyes as it climbed in the sky
And it started to swelter
The sweat trickled down the front of her gown
And I thought it would melt her

She threw back her hair like I wasn't there
And she sipped on a julep
Her shoulders were bare and I tried not to stare
When I looked at her two lips

And when she looked at me, I heard her softly say
"I know you're young, you don't know what to do or say
But stay with me until the sun has gone away
And I will chase the boy in you away"

And then she smiled and we talked for a while
And we walked for a mile to the sea
We sat on the sand and a boy took her hand
But I saw the sun rise as a man

Ten years have gone by since I looked in her eye
But the memory lingers
I go back in my mind to the very first time
And feel the touch of her fingers

It was a hot afternoon, last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid, one-ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming for Michele
