In Peyton Place my heart now beats 
And floor boards creak where an angel sleeps 
Her hair hung across her face 
Like a bush hangs across a wall 
She was short with a tidy smile 
I could hear temptation call 
From a fly in her ointment 
To the big feather in her cap 
It's a small world we discover 
I had once worked for her dad 
I was in gear making up stories 
And we laughed at each other's tales 
I watched her lips I wanted to kiss them 
My train of thought went off the rails 

In Peyton Place my heart now beats 
And floor boards creak where an angel sleeps 
In Peyton Place 
I lie awake and hear the sound 
That the angels make 
In Peyton Place 

The party was now ending 
So she gave me a lift back home 
Somehow I felt so nervous 
She drove so slowly on the road 
Next thing I knew she was in my arms 
Her hair was all over my face 
I brushed it aside she invited me in 
Now my heart beats in Peyton Place 

Her hair hung across her face like 
A bush hangs across a wall
