Lila

In the summer time

Stealin' red wine

Jumpin off the river bridge

Just fair oaks kid

In the summertime

With Lila for love

Couldn't help thinking

God smilin' from above


In the summer time

Steallin' red wine

Goin' to art shows

In our hippie cloths

Then her dad did appear

With a badge and his gear

Ran for the oak trees

In my worn out jeans


And I saw her tears

They lasted for years

For we were in love

God smilin' from above


When it came to an end

Would I see her again

Through the old oak trees

In her cut-off jeans


There came another day

Flyin' through L.A.

I stopped at a bar

In my Austen Healy car

A beauty owned the place

Said I know your face

I've missed you all these years

Through all my tears


In the summertime

With Lila for love

Couldn't help thinking

God smiled from above


Bought a big beach house

Down Santa Barbara way

Where we settled down easy

For many a day


Had a gaggle of kids

Now we're back in show biz

With Lila for love

God smilin' from above


In the summer time

Stealin' red wine

Jumpin off the river bridge

Just fair oaks kids
