Close your eyes so you don't feel them

They don't need to see you cry

I can't promise I will heal you

But if you want to I will try

I sing this somber serenade

The past is done we've been betrayed

It's true

Someone said the truth will out

I believe without a doubt

in you



(chorus)

You were there for summer dreaming

and you gave me what I need

and I hope you'll find your freedom

for eternity, for eternity



Yesterday when we were walking

We talked about your mum and dad,

What they did that made you happy,

What they did that made you sad.

We sat and watched the sun go down

Picked a star before we lost

the moon

Youth is wasted on the young

before you know it's come and gone,too soon



You were there for summer dreaming

and you gave me what I need

and I hope you find your freedom

for eternity, for eternity



I sing this sommer serenade

the past is done we've been betrayed

it's true

youth is wasted on the young

before you know it's come and gone

too soon



you were there for summer dreaming

and you are a friend indeed

and I hope you'll find your freedom

for eternity

you were there for summer dreaming

and you are a friend indeed

and I know you'll find your freedom

eventually

For eternity, for eternity
