I Knew So Much About This Place
Laughter in the air
Drinks in hands
Chatter here and there
I knew so much about this place when it was here
Some of the happiest moments of my life
Hearing the dominos hit each other as my mom shuffles them across the table
Sitting right across from me is my sister
Her face is down while petting little Bruce
The cool air hitting my face
On this beautiful summer night
The main source of light we have is from the moon being up so high
This is a place I knew so much about
This is the place where some of the happiest moments were lived
Loud music blasting from the small radio we have
Always some type of Spanish music playing with my dad trying to sing along with it
I have the dominos in my hands thinking what should be my next move
Beating my parents in at least one game would always be my goal
We would play for hours on end
Never wanting to go back in
Enjoying the company of each other
I knew so much about that place
The place of summer nights in my backyard
Playing dominos with my family
If I only go back to that place
The place with the chatter here and there
The drinks in our hands
And laughter in the air
If only I can go back to that place I knew so much about
