Speed of Sound
By Dan Miraldi
 
Remember we danced to rock and roll music played with the lights real low?
It was a hot summer night out in the country at your uncle’s bungalow.
Remember we were pressed up cheek to cheek?
There wasn’t any reason for us to speak.
We were too wound up figuring out
The profound meaning of “Twist & Shout.”
 
Do you remember now? (Do you remember?)
Falling in love at the speed of sound
Do you remember how? (Do you remember?)
We fell in love at the speed of sound
 
Remember we went down to the lake?
You got so chilled you started to shake.
The water was cold and felt like knives.
So we climbed out and we ran for our lives.
And then you pressed your lips upon my face –
The salt of your skin, I still can taste
And I swore that I would never forget
The day, the minute, the moment we met
 
Do you remember now? (Do you remember?)
Falling in love at the speed of sound
Do you remember how? (Do you remember?)
We fell in love at the speed of sound
 
It seems so far away in a time so long ago
But when I hear your song played,
I swear I know every note
 
Remember we danced to rock and roll music on a blown out stereo?
Our friends were there. We were having a party at the backwoods bungalow.
You talked about boys and hating cigarettes.
I told you I would teach you how to two-step.
You said I didn’t quite learn it right.
I said, “That’s okay. You can teach me tonight.”
 
Do you remember now? (Do you remember?)
Falling in love at the speed of sound
Do you remember how? (Do you remember?)
We fell in love at the speed of sound
