About Richard Hamersma


 




The Avenue

Richard Hamersma and Joyce Harrison

Genre: Latin Pop

The sunny, bright, warm Latin rhythms of the street are waiting to be shared and enjoyed by all who pass by.


I wanna go back
To the avenue
See the neon light up the dark
Hear the sound of
Latin music
From open windows above the bars
Guys with their hair slicked we used to hang out
And flirt with the pretty girls in the crowd

The night was always young in the summertime
And happy hour started after nine
Wild and crazy things we’d do when we were
In and out of love
And the night was always youug

I wanna take you
To the neighborhood
See your face shine in the city heat
Smell the spices
And sweet perfume
Floating in the air with a salsa beat
Give a smile to the old folks sitting on the stoop
Watching the show

The night was always young in the summertime
And happy hour started after nine
Wild and crazy things we’d do when we were
In and out of love
And the night was always young

Gotta laugh, gotta dance, shake it up, fine romance
On the avenue, ooooo

The night was always young in the summertime
And happy hour started after nine
Wild and crazy things we’d do when we were
In and out of love
In the summertime
Happy hour time
Laugh and dance
Find romance where the night was always young
