Right there next to you
Recently I found an interview
where you shared some vivid memories
from your childhood & old neighborhood
It was so interesting to read
And the way you were describing it all
made me feel like I was right there next to you
right there next to you
You recalled laying on the tenement rooftop
on sultry summer nights
loving the feel of the warm wonderful breezes
underneath the moonlit sky
and I was right there next to you
right there next to you
You remembered the various street vendors
with all of their sweet & salty treats
describing in delicious detail
all of the tasty foods they had to eat
all of the tasty foods they had to eat
and I was right there next to you
right there next to you
You told of acting out Gunsmoke
and other tv shows with your friends
and other tv shows with your friends
even describing a certain teacher
that you had a huge "crush" on way back then
and I was right there next to you
right there next to you
I'm so glad I got to walk with you
through some of your memories
and even join you on that rooftop
for the warmest summer breeze
I wish I really could have been
right there next to you
right there next to you

While reading the part about him spending those hot nights on the rooftops & feeling the warm summer breezes, I thought of this gorgeous song
"Warm summer breeze blows endlessly, touching the hearts of those who feel"
-ELO 'One Summer Dream'
