Lyrics

[Verse 1] I found you in the summer heat, of 1953 Wise words from your father said "I know that boy's your brother's friend But I don't think he keeps comin' round for him" Again and again and again [Verse 2] I had to swim away Semper Fi, but I'll be back someday I'll take you by the hand and say "Be mine, be mine, be mine" [Chorus] And if someday, you grow tired and your memory fades It's alright, I will never leave your side And oh when it's time, you can come find me In 1953 [Verse 3] Leave New York and see the countryside Little city and a bigger life Watch it grow into a thousand eyes It's ours, it's ours, it's ours Oh it's ours, it's ours, it's ours [Chorus] And if someday, you grow tired and your memory fades It's alright, I will never leave your side And oh when it's time, you can come find me In 1953 [Dialogue] "And he was my brother's friend, years later my father said You know, I think he's comin' to see you" [Bridge] It's written in the gold ring [Dialogue] "That could be true" "It is true" [Bridge cont] Passed down the line Hangin' in the branches [Dialogue] "We landed on the right path I really feel" [Bridge cont] You see it in their eyes Pressed in the concrete [Dialogue] "But it was a good life, I'm very happy" [Bridge cont] Where we used to reside It's larger than life [Chorus] And if someday, you grow tired and your memory fades It's okay, and when my heart gives away It's alright, I will never leave your side And oh when it's time, just come find me In 1953
