Jordan Lake (5:06)

Pieces of a warm afternoon
my thoughts they drift to you
On my mind as I drive through North Carolina
While the pictures from the family photo wall
Are hanging in my head
You are back home in New England
and I am here instead

Moving under golden-blue skies
Surrounded by fields of cotton
Thinking, "This is the type of place
a person remembers…"

On the way to the ocean
traveling through the heartland
I come upon a sign for a lake
that was named after you
So I pull to the side of the road
To take a picture to show you
And I add it to the mental list of places
I would like to take you

Let's go down to Jordan Lake one day
You could think of it as your special place
We could sit by the shore in the sun
and have a lazy afternoon
Oh, let's go down to Jordan Lake one day
Just you and I

Something about the Southern countryside
Makes me think about growing up
And loving memories of my childhood home
Seems as though that was less long ago than it was
And when I think back to the year that you were born
I remember it as if it were yesterday

We all know how quickly time passes,
But it's important to say
That the time we spend together
is precious in every way

Let's go back to Jordan Lake one day
You could think of it as your special place
We could sit by the shore in the sun
and have a lazy afternoon
Oh, let's go back to Jordan Lake one day
Just you and I
But let's make it sooner than later
'cause time does fly…

Pieces of a warm afternoon
My thoughts they drift to you
On my mind as I drive through North Carolina
