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 the first to dance Who was gonna be Who would be the first to kiss Under those patio lanterns 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 Oh, those patio lanterns And I was stuck on Joy, that was her name We 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 Bobby Vinton's Blue on Blue Heartache on heartache Who was gonna be Who would be the first to dance Who was gonna be Who would be the first to kiss Under those patio lanterns 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 Oh, those patio lanterns
