walking alone beneath the

lights of that miracle mile

me and mary making our

way into the night

you can hear the cries

from the carnival rides

the pinball bills skee ball slides

watching the summer

sun fall out of sight

there's a warm wind coming

in from off of the ocean

making it's way past the hotel

wall to fill the streets

mary is holding both of

her shoes in her hands

said she likes to feel

the sand beneath her feet

and in the morning i'm leaving

making my way back to cleveland

so tonight i hope that

i will do just fine

and i don't see how you could

ever be anything but mine

there's a local band playing

at the sea side pavilion

and i got just enough cash to get us in

and as we are dancing mary's

wrapping her arms around me

and i can feel the sting

of summer on my skin

in the midst of the music

i tell her i love her

we both laugh cause

we know it isn't true

but mary there's a summer

drawing to an end tonight

and there's so much that

i long to do to you

and in the morning i'm leaving

making my way back to cleveland

so tonight i hope that

i will do just fine

and i don't see how you could

ever be anything but mine

and in the morning i'm leaving

making my way back to cleveland

so tonight i hope that

i will do just fine

and i don't see how you could

ever be anything but mine

mary i don't see how you could

ever be anything but mine

and in the morning i'm leaving

making my way back to cleveland

so tonight i hope that

i will do just fine

hey i don't see how you could

ever be anything but mine
