BALLAD

CAROLYN

She lived on Kelly Avenue

I would not be late,

I arrive at quarter of six

Nervous for our first date.

She stepped out on the porch

Shadowed by the moonlight

She could have been an angel

In her dress of pink and white.

Chorus

I fell in love at a picture show

At a drive-in all around,

Loving beneath a canopy of stars

Living in this Gulf coast town.

Two teenagers sitting side by side

With hearts all aglow

Our arms were embracing

While watching the picture show.

We came down the side walk

Glancing at each other

I opened the door as I should

Knowing there would never be another.

She sits beside the door of my car

As we drove to the picture show,

Our minds had visions of romance

Just waiting for the word go.

Chorus

I fell in love at a picture show

At a drive-in all around

Loving beneath a canopy of stars

Living in this Gulf coast town.

Two teenagers sitting side by side

With hearts all aglow

Our arms were embracing

While watching the picture show.

I found a spot in the parking lot

And then the show started.

My mind was not on the show

While we still sat apart

I slide my arm on the seat

She slide to my side

My heart began to pound

My love would not hide.

Chorus

I fell in love at a picture show

At a drive-in all around

Loving beneath a canopy of stars

Living in this Gulf coast town.

Two teenagers sitting side by side

With hearts all aglow

Our arms were embracing

While watching the picture show.

Our embraces were so sweet

Our kisses so divine

We were caught in loves grasp

Two hearts forever bind,

I fell in love at a picture show

At a place so long ago.

For after fifty years later

I still love her so.

Chorus

I fell in love at a picture show

At a drive-in all around

Loving beneath a canopy of stars

Living in this Gulf coast town.

Two teenagers sitting side by side

With hearts all aglow

Our arms were embracing

While watching the picture show
