From “(Sorta) Love Songs”
By Paul Loesel and Scott Burkell
Lyrics:
That weekend we spent together.
You got off the plane with a Stephen King book.
On your face you had a sweet devilish look.
And I swear to God you literally took
My breath away.
You had an overnight bag tossed over your shoulder.
A sweatshirt ‘round your waist for when it got colder,
And if I’d had the guts or been slightly bolder,
I would have kissed you right there.
We paid for the bus, and we both got in.
We had so much to say, but how to begin.
So all we could do there was sit there and grin,
Like two Cheshire cats.
That weekend we spent together,
In perfect October weather,
I keep thinking about,
That weekend we spent together.
We were truly happy as the proverbial lark.
We spent the afternoon up in Central Park.
Played on the swing-sets until it got dark,
Then went to a movie.
It was Ed Wood, and it was in black and white.
We rubbed knees together and I held your hands tight,
Letting go to hold jujubes up to the light,
To find the black ones.
Back at my apartment, you put on our song,
And as Melissa sang, we both sang along.
We sweet and tender, soft and strong,
As the moon peeked in.
That weekend we spent together,
In perfect October weather,
I keep thinking about,
That weekend we spent together.
Ev’ry moment, ev’ry second,
Ev’ry feeling I can find,
They keep tumbling over,
And over in my mind.
Saturday morning I crept out of bed.
You pulled the covers right over your head.
I guess that you wanted to sleep instead
‘Cause you mumbled something.
The perfect days took us here and there.
The Circle Line, a Village street fair.
A Tori Amos CD that was imported and rare,
Or so the guy told us.
We rented movies and ordered Chinese.
Slept in a tangle of elbows and knees.
And before I’d drift off I’d whisper, “Please,
Don’t let this ever end.”
That weekend we spent together,
In perfect October weather,
I keep thinking about,
That weekend we spent…
But Sunday night came, and as hard as we tried,
We couldn’t be happy, so we gave up and cried.
And I felt this emptiness deep down inside,
That still lingers on.
I took you to the airport and tried to be brave.
I said you looked like hell, and needed a shave.
I mustered a smile and said, “Try to behave,
‘Til next time I see you.”
A quick awkward hug, and a “see you later.”
I watched you disappear as I went down the escalator.
If there’s a sadness that’s any greater,
I don’t want to know it.
That weekend we spent together,
In perfect October weather,
That weekend way back when,
Was the happiest I’ve ever been.
Could you maybe come over again?
That weekend we spent together.
