Purest Innocence Abandoned.-by-Matthew F. Blowers III

Listen Later
Purest Innocence.
I saw you at that campground
snack bar back in “66”
Gazing up at me with hungry eyes
and a smile that wet my lips.
I put a nickel in the jukebox,
and I played that song “Sweet Pea.”
Then I came and asked you for a dance,
and you said, “yes,” eagerly…
Oh Sweet Pea,
would you like to dance with me,
come on, come on, come on,
and dance with me..
We danced around that ice cream stand
So long I thought it’d melt,
From the warmth of newfound Summer love,
and the heat that we both felt,

unrequited love that haunts us still,
on all that could have been….
We only had three weeks to turn
from lovers back to friends,
in those sultry days of August,
when most summer love’s must end….
and I hurt inside when I saw you cry
as your family drove away
till the car vanished completely
taking all my dreams away.
Oh, Sweet Pea, thanks
for all the memories
I love, I love, I love those memories….
Chorus-
Purest innocence was strictly defined
By the times in which we lived,
holding hands and sharing kisses
was the most that we could give,
more passionate encounters
were forbidden way back then,
unrequited love that haunts us still,
over all that could have been….
over all that could have been
