© Norm Hacking, words & music (SOCAN)
NEW - listen to mp3
(through 1st chorus; 1.45mb)
performed by Alan Rhody


Summer days at Grandma's house
Never seemed to end.
Skies were stretched out blazing blue -
It was easy to pretend.
I could be most anything -
The world was surely mine.
You never know when a day
Will have to last a long, long time.

I took to howling at the moon,
It carried me so far.
Poetry and passion soon became
The voices of my heart.
But eyes that search the endless stars
Must also look inside.
You never know when a prayer
Will have to last a long, long time.

chorus:
And I'm crazy for you
And I'm crazy for love
And I'm crazy for dreaming
What I've been dreaming of.

My path took me to a festival.
It was magic from the start.
Music filled the garden,
Glenn Maguire stole our hearts.
We played his tape while an empty chair
Stood bathed in a lone spotlight.
You never know when a song
Might have to last a long, long time.

chorus

I loved you as a stranger
And I do not know you yet.
Time has been a layered thing -
In time we will forget
The way we shivered in the wind.
I swear your eyes stopped time
When you were mine.
Oh, you never know when a kiss
Will have to last a long, long time.

chorus twice
