    Words and Music

    Dave Terry

    (Verse)

    There was a time, when we were still young

    Had so much to say, words rolled off the tongue

    They’d say, hey boys music is your world

    So go out and play it then we’d go chasin’ girls

    Time goes crawlin, seems like only yesterday

    When you gave to me sweet memories

    I can’t wait to get back to you

    I still feel you I do, cause I’ve been thinkin bout

     

    (Chorus)

    El Cerrito, just across the bay from Sausalito

    Little city with the golden gate view

    Nobody’s fool lives upon the hill

    Summertime and the foggy nights

    Oh the things they do above the city lights

    Overlookin’ San Francisco

    I’m talkin’ about, El Cerrito

     

    (Verse)

    Traveled all over, scoped out the world

    Played all kind of music and watched her slow twirl

    Soared with the angels in the city of sin

    But I miss El Cerrito, the bay and my old friends

    Time goes crawlin, seems like only yesterday

    When you gave to me sweet memories

    I can’t wait to get back to you

    I really miss you I do and I’ve been thinkin bout

     

    (Chorus)

     

    (Bridge)

    Feel the ocean breeze when I close my eyes

    Look out on the water as they sail on by

    El Cerrito, El Cerrito

    I still feel you I do

     

    (Solo)

     

    Summertime and the foggy nights, foggy foggy nights

    Above the city lights overlookin San Francisco

    I’m talkin about El Cerrito and I’m goin back

    I’m goin’ back to El Cerrito, just across the bay from Sausalito

    Look now it’s the golden gate view

    Nobody’s fool lives upon the hill

    And the foggy nights, foggy foggy nights above the city lights

    Overlookin San Francisco, I’m talkin about El Cerrito
