Patio Lanterns

Kim Mitchell

Our house had the biggest patio

Our house had all the summer shade

We had patio lanterns



I'd spend half the night making lemonade

Which we drank a lot

'cause we were all so shy

Shy and nervous



Who was gonna be

Who would be the first to dance

Who was gonna be

Who would be the first to kiss

Under those patio lanterns



Those patio lanterns

They were the stars in our sky

Those patio lanterns

Lighting up our lives



Those patio lanterns

They were the stars in our sky

Those patio lanterns

Lighting up our lives



Oh those patio lanterns



And I was stuck on Joy,

(that was her name)

We didn't talk much

She was a nervous girl

I was a nervous boy



We stuck together like glue on glue

Dancing to an old song

Bobby vinton's blue on blue

Heartache on heartache



Who was gonna be

Who would be the first to dance

Who was gonna be

Who would be the first to kiss

Under those patio lanterns



Those patio lanterns

They were the stars in our sky (stars in our sky)

Those patio lanterns

Lighting up our lives (up our lives)



Those patio lanterns

They were the stars in our sky (stars in our sky)

Those patio lanterns

Lighting up our lives



Oh those patio lanterns
