about

Pure pop explosion title from a long ago tv show I think. Nice jazz flutters by Jeff, lovely harmony Comp, solid rhythm section and I get to sing about a nostalgic romantic moment that turns into something more apparently..return to me, bit of VU loaded style shimmer at the end..

lyrics

That was the week that was
there is no reason it was just because
the drinks got to me now it's good bye love
That was the week that was

Before you came my way
I was afraid to each drab old
just like Tom Sawyer I would slip away
to escape the week that was

People come good people may go
moving fast as the world turns so slowly
My heard was a desert waiting for rain
Come down, come down on me again

That was the week that was, there never was a week so sleek as was
those seventh heavan days of hazy love
wonderful week that was

Before you came my way
I was afraid to face each drab old day
like Tom Sawyer I would slip away
to escape the week that was

Time is a river, my life was a raft
caught in the rapids of a fractured past
My heart was a desert waiting for rain
Come down, come down on me again

That was the week that was
wonderful week that was
There is no reason it was just because
That was the week that was

Bring it on back, bring it on back baby
Return to me
Return to me
I'll testify
