Maybe It Was Memphis Written by - Michael Anderson Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight Katydids sing like a symphony Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullabye Melody blowin' through a willow tree What was I s'pposed to do Standin' there lookin' at you Lonely boy Far from home Maybe it was Memphis (Memphis) Maybe it was southern summer nights (Southern summer nights) Maybe it was you Maybe it was me But it sure felt right Read about you in a Faulkner novel Met you once in a Williams play Heard about you in a country love song Summer night beauty took my breath away What was I s'pposed to do Standin' there lookin' at you Lonely boy Far from home Maybe it was Memphis (Memphis) Maybe it was southern summer nights (Southern summer nights) Maybe it was you Maybe it was me But it sure felt right Maybe it was Memphis (Memphis) Maybe it was southern summer nights (Southern summer nights) Maybe it was you Maybe it was me But it sure felt right Every night now since I've been back home Lie awake driftin' in the memory Think about you on my momma's front porch swing Talkin' that way, so soft to me What was I s'pposed to do Standin' there lookin' at you Lonely boy Far from home Maybe it was Memphis (Memphis) Maybe it was southern summer nights (Southern summer nights) Maybe it was you Maybe it was me But it sure felt right |
