Saw her at the Texaco just the other day
Even more beautiful, her hair had a touch of grey
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 tommorow
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"
Mmm, hmmm
Then I said, "Little Melissa, she's lookin' more and more like you
I 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? Such a crazy world"
"So, they're tearin' down the Cherry Bowl Drive-In tommorow?
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"
♪
"Hey, can you get away tommorow?
If you can't, I understand
It's just that when the big screen falls
I'd like to be holdin' your hand
Holdin' your hand"
"When they're tearin' down the Cherry Bowl Drive-In tommorow
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 us there"
