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
