Lyrics
[Intro]
Ba-da-ba-da, come on!
Under the lights of the hall, we're ready to play
A one-two-three-four, let's rock the night away!
[Verse 1]
Well she walked in like a summer day, all the pretty boys turned away
In her polka dot dress and a smile that shines, took my heart on a wild ride
With a cream soda smile and lemonade hair, ooh baby, I was caught unaware
Fingers strumming chords, my heart started to race
[Pre-Chorus]
Dancing with the stars, we were burning bright
But love's not a game when it fades from sight
[Chorus]
Hey there pretty girl, let's rock and roll tonight!
Spinning 'round this hall, feels so right, feels so right!
With every turn and twirl, you stole my heart like a dream
Oh, summer love, you're the sweetest theme!
[Verse 2]
Now the summer nights fade to a mellow glow, we keep dancing to the radio
But with every song, I feel the heartbeat slow, I search your eyes, where did love go?
[Pre-Chorus]
Promises whispered in the heat of June
Faded photographs under the silver moon
[Chorus]
Hey there pretty girl, let's rock and roll tonight!
Spinning 'round this hall, feels so right, feels so right!
With every turn and twirl, you stole my heart like a dream
Oh, summer love, you're the sweetest theme!
[Bridge]
(Authentic 1960's Guitar Riff)[Falling Back to Rhythm]
[Verse 3]
Now those summer skies turned to fall's embrace, I still see your smile in this empty space
We laughed, we cried, through the ups and downs, but heartache sings the same old sound
[Chorus]
Hey there pretty girl, let's rock and roll tonight!
Spinning 'round this hall, feels so right, feels so right!
With memories burning bright, you'll always be my dream
Oh, summer love, forever you'll be my theme!
[Outro]
Ba-da-ba-da, say goodbye to the night,
But my heart's still singing, you were my delight!
Oh yeah, rockin' love, fading away,
With a pretty girl's smile, forever I'll play!
