Cherry Bowl Drive-In Lyrics

Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm

Saw her at the Texaco just the other day
Even more beautiful, her hair had a touch of gray
We both stood and stared at each other, couldn't say a word
Then I said, "God, it's good to see you"
And she said, "Well, have you heard
They're tearin' down the Cherry Bowl Drive-In tomorrow
Where I first kissed you and ran my fingers through your hair
She's goin' the way all things must go someday
But I will still remember you there
Yes, I will
I will still remember you there"

Then I said, "Little Melissa
She's lookin' more and more like you
Saw her down on Maple Street
She's even got your same smile too
And my Jake Jr. says, "Daddy
Someday I'm gonna marry that girl"
Isn't that just perfect? Oh, such a crazy world

So they're tearin' down the Cherry Bowl Drive-In tomorrow
Where I first kissed you and ran my fingers through your hair
She's goin' the way all things must go someday
But I will still remember you there
Yes, I will, yes, I will
I will still remember you there

"Can you get away tomorrow?
If you can't, I understand
It's just that when the big screen falls
I wanna be holdin' your hand
Holdin' your hand

When they're tearin' down
The Cherry Bowl Drive-In tomorrow
Where I first kissed you and ran my fingers through your hair
She's goin' the way all things must go someday
But I will still remember you there
Yes, I will, yes, I will
I will still remember there"
