The Summers In Evanston
Lyrics by. Bun Onoe and Riyu Music by. Riyu


I heard the sound of a music box coming near
And the two of us started running
A truck that carries a lot of ice cream is here

The sky of the day that we cut class was oh so very blue
We both had caramel sauce on top of our noses, and we rolled down on
the grass

This Summer with Monica
I wished it would last forever
You're my best friend
Even if we grow to be adults

Suddenly, somebody grabbed me by the hand,
and took away the watch that was wrapped around my wrist

While I was sitting on the bench trembling, Monica was there, beside me

Even children of twelve year olds
have to be tough in order to live through this world

I watched the squirrels hopping on the fence, absent-mindedly

This Summer with Monica
I wished it would go on forever
"You're my best friend", she tole me

Those Summers in Evanston
When I used to be shy about my freckles
