Don't Close the Drive In

You were sitting there one afternoon at the back of the soda shop

My heart skipped as I introduced myself

All your friends had joined you for milkshakes, but somehow I only saw you

A warm feeling inside me lighted up

La la, dee dee dee, dee dee dee

La la, dee dee dee, dee dee dee

That day you gave me your phone number, and I wrote it down

I looked in your eyes and I saw my future

I invited you to dinner that Saturday

A new place in town opened up where I wanted us to go

Let me take you to the drive in

There's a space in the last row

I will show you a very fine time

I'll kiss you when the lights go down until the credits roll

I wish I could do something to help you feel better

The doctor said that you don't have much time

No medicine can help recover, oh no

But I do know one thing that will help ease the pain

That old place is still around where we once used to go

Let me take you to the drive in

There's a space in the last row

I will show you a very fine time

I'll kiss you when the lights go down 'til the credits roll

May this night last forever

Please don't close the drive in

May this night last forever

Please don't close the drive in

Please don't close the drive in

Please don't close the drive in
