Lyrics late in the evening paul simon

• First thing I remember
  I was lying in my bed
  I couldn't have been no more than one or two
  And I remember there was a radio
  Coming from the room next door
  And my mother laughed
  The way some ladies do
  When it's late in the evening
  And the music's seeping through

  The next thing I remember
  I am walking down the street
  I'm feeling all right
  I'm with my boys, I'm with my troops, yeah
  And down along the avenue
  Some guys were shooting pool
  And I heard the sound of a cappella groups, yeah
  Singing late in the evening
  And all the girls out on the stoops, yeah

  Then I learned to play some lead guitar
  I was underage in this funky bar
  And I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J"
  And when I come back to the room
  Everybody just seemed to move
  And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play
  And it was late in the evening
  And I blew that room away

  First thing I remember
  When you came into my life
  I said I'm gonna get that girl no matter what I do
  Well, I guess I've been in love before
  And once or twice I been on the floor
  But I never loved no one the way that I love you
  And it was late in the evening
  And all the music seeping through Writer/s: Paul Simon

The first thing I remember, I was lying in my bed
I couldn't've been no more than one or two
And I remember there's a radio, coming from the room next door
My mother laughed the way some ladies' do

Well it's late in the evening, and the music's seeping through

The next thing I remember, I am walking down a street
I'm feeling alright I'm with my boys and with my troops, yeah
Down along the avenue some guys are shootin' pool
And I heard the sound of acapella groups, yeah

Singin' late in the evening, and all the girls out on the stoops, yeah

Then I learned to play some lead guitar, I was underage in this funky bar
And I stepped outside to smoke myself a j
When I come back to the room, everybody just seemed to move
And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play

It was late in the evening, and I blew that room away

First thing I remember when you came into my life
I said I wanna get that girl, no matter what I do
Well I guess I've been in love before and once or twice have been on the floor
But I've never loved no-one the way that I love you

And it was late in the evening, and all the music's seeping through
