Ray Stevens - Piedmont Park lyrics
[Ray Stevens - Piedmont Park lyrics]
It was easy to tell she'd been doin' well
She wore those little alligator soft pastels
Khaki slacks straight from the racks of
Saks Fifth Avenue
Faded jeans worn at the seams there
I sat with the love of my teens
She apologized but said don't be surprised
But there's something that I must say to you
I never loved again after Piedmont Park
I never loved again I swear it from my heart
Nothing ever did compare to that night
That we shared in the dark
I never loved again after Piedmont Park
She held my hand and found the band of
Gold that told I was a married man
She said she'd been a fool
Since we were kids in
School to just hurt me and just walk away
She came to town just to kick around
She just washed out of her third go-around
After twenty years she said
Through her tears, i can still honestly say
I never loved again after Piedmont Park
I never loved again, I swear it from my heart
Nothing ever did compare to that night
That we shared in the dark
I never loved again after Piedmont Park
In halting tender awkwardness we dared
To reminisce of crinolines
And long lost friends and
The loss of innocence
I paid the tab, she hailed a
Cab, the day turned misty, grey, and drab
And as I watched her lights fade into the
Night I can still hear her say
I never loved again after Piedmont Park
I never loved again, I swear it from my heart
Nothing ever did compare to that night
That we shared in the dark
I never loved again after Piedmont Park
I never loved again after Piedmont Park
She wore those little alligator soft pastels
Khaki slacks straight from the racks of
Saks Fifth Avenue
Faded jeans worn at the seams there
I sat with the love of my teens
She apologized but said don't be surprised
But there's something that I must say to you
I never loved again after Piedmont Park
I never loved again I swear it from my heart
Nothing ever did compare to that night
That we shared in the dark
I never loved again after Piedmont Park
She held my hand and found the band of
Gold that told I was a married man
She said she'd been a fool
Since we were kids in
School to just hurt me and just walk away
She came to town just to kick around
She just washed out of her third go-around
After twenty years she said
Through her tears, i can still honestly say
I never loved again after Piedmont Park
I never loved again, I swear it from my heart
Nothing ever did compare to that night
That we shared in the dark
I never loved again after Piedmont Park
In halting tender awkwardness we dared
To reminisce of crinolines
And long lost friends and
The loss of innocence
I paid the tab, she hailed a
Cab, the day turned misty, grey, and drab
And as I watched her lights fade into the
Night I can still hear her say
I never loved again after Piedmont Park
I never loved again, I swear it from my heart
Nothing ever did compare to that night
That we shared in the dark
I never loved again after Piedmont Park
I never loved again after Piedmont Park
