Reminiscing
L.A Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Friday night it was late, I was walking you home
We got down to the gate, I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right?
How to tell you girl, I want to build my world around you
Wanna tell you that it's true
I wanna make you understand I'm talking about a lifetime plan

Well that's the way it began, we were hand-in-hand
Glen Miller's band was better than before
We yelled and screamed for more
And those Porter's tunes made us dance across the room
It ended all too soon
On the way back home I promised you'd never be alone

Hurry, don't be late
I can't hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old
We'll go dancing in the dark, walking through the park
And reminiscing

Friday night it was late, I was walking you home
We got down to the gate, I was dreaming of the night
Would it turn out right?
Now as the years roll on, each time we hear our favorite song
The memories come along
Older times we're missing, spending the hours reminiscing

Hurry, don't be late
I can't hardly wait
I said to myself when we're old




We'll go dancing in the dark, walking through the park
And reminiscing

I miss being a kid in 1970s, listening to things like this. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. 😅

Back when musicians ruled - and actually played their own instruments and wrote their own songs. Hell yeah!

Naudia Neels

Wasn't it a great time? Miss those days 😞

Adam H

I wasn't born yet but I still want to visit that time.

Matt Perri

I mean...there are some that still do that but they're far and few between. Maroon 5 actually comes to mind even though they got lazy in their last couple albums and went the synth route.
