Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight Katy did sing like a symphony Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby Melody blowin' through the willow tree What was I supposed to do Standin' there lookin' at you? A lonely boy far from home Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right Read about you in a Faulkner novel Met you once in a William's play Heard about you in a country love song Summer night's beauty took my breath away What was I supposed to do Standin' there lookin' at you? A lonely boy far from home Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right Every night now since I've been back home Lie awake drifting in the memory I think about you on your momma's front porch swing Talking that way, so soft to me What was I supposed to do Standin' there lookin' at you? A lonely boy far from home Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right Maybe it was Memphis
