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
