From the recording Oh, Jeepers!
Young love; we all remember it. How did we survive it?! In quiet times, we all reminisce and many wish it were possible to revisit those days (not a one-way ticket, though, please). The naive, unguarded, and wide-open days when there were no real responsibilities on your shoulders and very few guard rails. Your world had finally grown past the confining walls of your parents' home and your friends had become the most important pieces in your life; priceless! You swore you would lay down your lives for each other and be friends forever. Where are those friends and loves now? Likely living a parallel life! Safe and sound, somewhere tucked away in the wine cellars of our hearts and the dusty closets of our memories. You may recall this story. I think I remember you there with me!
Lyrics
Oh, Jeepers! words & music by JRRothrock
“Duck down outta the headlights, Baby!” That’s what we used to say...
... and then we’d “quake” as the life ran through us! Oh! What would our parents say?
Sneaking in and outta the shadows… and loving on the run.
In the fields… under the moonlight... we shared a ton of young fun!
Oh, how we pioneered together. Hey, it was hard but we pushed on!
We learned “the ropes” of love together. There was no “calm before the storm”!
Well, we learned to brave the weather, but we never doused the fire.
I’d feel a cool breeze all around you... as the flames rolled higher and higher!
Oh! Jeepers! Girl, where are you now? You could be a million miles away,
... and yet, all around you…
... I can still turn the heat up… I’m still inside you!
I’ve got one last thing to say, I still dream about you!
Hey! Jeepers!
(instrumental break)
You weren’t around to pick me up off the floor...
... and I don’t hear you knocking upon my door!
How much you miss me? I’ll give you a description...
... I’m the only one who can fill your prescription!
If the truth were told, as I’ve been known to do…
... looks like my “lucky star” did not shine through!
But if you’re out there wondering if there’s still an attraction,
... just come a-knocking and you’ll see my reaction!
(instrumental break)
Oh! Jeepers! Girl, where are you now?
(I’d really love to see you now, Baby!)
You could be a million miles away and yet, all around you…
(I mean to tell you, everywhere!)
I can still turn the heat up; I’m still inside you!
(And it’ll never, never, ever go away!)
I’ve got one last thing to say, and that's, I STILL LOVE YOU!
OH! JEEPERS!!!
… love can last forever, so it seems... I’ll meet you in your dreams…
… love can last forever, so it seems... I’ll meet you in my dreams…
