Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight Katydid sing like a symphony Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby Melody blowing 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 Williams play Heard about you in a country love song Summer nights 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
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 once I've been back home I lie awake at night drifting in my 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 you maybe it was me But it sure felt right You know it sure felt right...
