Patio Lanterns
[Verse 1]
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 first to dance
Who was gonna be, who would be first to kiss
Under those patio lanterns

[Chorus]
Those patio lanterns, they were the stars in the sky
Those patio lanterns, lighting up our lives
Those patio lanterns, they were the stars in the sky
Those patio lanterns, lighting up our lives
Patio lanterns

[Verse 2]
And I was stuck on Joy, that's her name
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 Alice in Chains "Black Gives Way to Blue"
Heartache on heartache
Who was gonna be, who would be first to dance
Who was gonna be, who would be first to kiss
Under those patio lanterns
[Chorus]
Those patio lanterns, they were the stars in the sky
Those patio lanterns, lighting up our lives
Those patio lanterns, they were the stars in the sky
Those patio lanterns, lighting up our lives
Patio lanterns

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
