Girl it always seems about September

That’s the time, again I remember the lights

And all the fun of those summer nights

Young and innocent and livin’ fast

Didn’t know enough to know

That a summer love can’t last

Can’t last



Then the snow, it fell without a warning

Left me standin' out in the cold

My heart shattered, thinking only of yesterday

Does me no good to reminisce

I can really only tell you this

If I had my way, I'd take yesterday



Do you remember those

Summer nights all night

Dancin’ in the light of love (dancin’ in the light of love)

Summer nights so right

Couldn’t last beyond September

Summer nights all night

Livin’ for your love

Dreamin' only of

You and summer nights



I remember playin’ by the shoreline

Before the fall when we had it all at our fingertips

Buildin’ castles in the driftin’ sand

Raced the waves as they ran to the shore

But the tides were turned for ever more

And the things we planned

Were castles made of sand



Do you remember those

Summer nights all night

Dancin’ in the light of love (dancin’ in the light of love)

Summer nights so right

Couldn’t last beyond September

Summer nights all night

Livin’ for your love

Dreamin' only of

You and summer nights



Oooh, summer nights

Makin' love beneath the northern lights

Oooh, summer nights

Now I'm back on my own again

Oooh, summer nights

We were diamonds in the rough in the moonlight

Oooh summer nights

Now I’m out in the cold again

Back on my own again



I remember those

Summer nights all night

Dancin’ in the light of love (dancin' in the light of love)

Summer nights so right

Couldn’t last beyond September





Summer nights all night

Dancin’ in the light of love

Summer nights so right

Couldn’t last beyond September

Summer nights all night

Dancin’ in the light of love (dancin' in the light of love)

Summer nights so right

Couldn’t last beyond September
