Lyrics
Written, Produced & Arranged by Rick Rowan
All Vocals by David Cooper
Don't Ask
It was in the summer time
The leaves were on the trees
We'd go out walkin' hand in hand
Along the city streets
The way that she would smile at me, I remember still
No I have not forgotten her
I guess I never will
All the lights went out one night
Was in a thunderstorm
And she was holdin' me so tight
Her body soft and warm
Even now I can recall
Her softly poundin' heart
And the way she whispered in my ear
"Let's not ever part"
But Don't Ask
Don't Ask me what went wrong
'Cause I just don't know
Don't Ask
Don't Ask me why she's gone
Said I just don't know
Don't Ask
We took a train upon a whim
We went to Delaware
She had on her yellow dress
A ribbon in her hair
And we were laughing all the way
I remember still
No I have not forgotten her
I guess I never will
(repeat chorus)
Now the trees have all gone bare
The snow is on the ground
When I wake up in the morning
There's a stillness all around
But her memory will fill my head
Every now and then
Just when I think I've forgotten her
I remember her again
(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus)
