The old hotel
That stands alone
Is right outside
The business zone
Twenty-five stories
A city block wide
If not the right color
Your stay was denied
Three meals a day
A guest could eat
And there were friends
They’d always meet
During the summer
They'd swim in the pool
On hot summer nights
Their rooms were cool
Cocktail lounges
With music to dance
Where many would find
A new romance
As years went by
The building decayed
Exotic places
Is where people stayed
Costly repairs
Wouldn't be made
The wrecker’s ball
Will soon invade
An empty lot
Where weeds will grow
And lost memories
Of days long ago
