Walking along beneath the lights of that miracle mile   Me and Mary making our way into the night   You can hear the cries from the carnival rides   The pin-ball bells and the ski-ball slides   Watching the summer sun fall out of sight   There's a warm wind coming in from off of the ocean   Making its way past the hotel walls to fill the street   Mary is holding both of her shoes in her hand   Said she likes to feel the sand beneath her feet      And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland   So tonight I hope that I will do just fine   And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine      There's a local band playing at the seaside pavilion   And I got just enough cash to get us in   And as we're dancin Mary's wrapping her arms around me   And I can feel the sting of summer on my skin   In the midst of the music I tell her I love her   We both laugh cause we know it isn't true   Ah but Mary there's a summer drawing to an end tonight   And there's so much that I long to do to you      But in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland   So tonight I hope that I will do just fine   And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine      And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland   So tonight I hope that I will do just fine   And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine      Mary I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine
