Sprinkler Waltz

[Chorus] Sprinkler waltz on the green lawn Underneath a sky so blue Barefoot dancing 'til the dawn I was watching only you Summer days in '82 Wish I knew what I know now That this feeling would see me through But it's gone somehow [Verse] My old bike leaned on the fence Chrome gleamin' in the sun Couldn't muster up the sense To say hello, not one Smell of berries, sweet and ripe Ice cream drippin' down my chin This small town, a perfect type Of where our dreams begin [Pre-Chorus] Then the reel-to-reel would play At the drive-in, late at night Wish that I could make you stay Bathed in pale projector light [Chorus] Sprinkler waltz on the green lawn Underneath a sky so blue Barefoot dancing 'til the dawn I was watching only you Summer days in '82 Wish I knew what I know now That this feeling would see me through But it's gone somehow [Verse] Fireflies start to gleam As the twilight takes its hold Living out a hazy dream A story to be told Soda pop with fizzy grace Bubbles risin' to the top Saw your smile upon your face My young heart went pop [Pre-Chorus] Now the years have rushed right past Like a river to the sea Memories that always last But they can't bring you back to me [Chorus] Sprinkler waltz on the green lawn Underneath a sky so blue Barefoot dancing 'til the dawn I was watching only you Summer days in '82 Wish I knew what I know now That this feeling would see me through But it's gone somehow [Bridge] That sky, a painted scene Too perfect to be true Everything felt fresh and clean When I was watching you Now the colors start to fade The music starts to cease A promise that was made Can never find its peace [Verse] I still see you in my mind Spinnin' free and wild and bold A treasure I can't find A story growing old Lemonade stand, the dusty road The laughter in the air Carryin' such a sweet load Beyond all earthly care [Chorus] Sprinkler waltz on the green lawn Underneath a sky so blue Barefoot dancing 'til the dawn I was watching only you Summer days in '82 Wish I knew what I know now That this feeling would see me through But it's gone somehow [Outro] Sprinkler waltz Sprinkler waltz Underneath a sky so blue Watching only you
