Summer

Nobody on the road,
nobody on the beach,
I feel it in the air,
the summer's out of reach,
empty lake, empty streets,
the sun goes down alone,
I'm drivin' by your house,
though I know you're not home.
I can see you,
your brown skin shinin' in the sun,
you got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby,
and I can tell you my love for you will still be strong,
after the boys of summer have gone.

I never will forget those nights,
I wonder if it was a dream,
remember how you made me crazy,
remember how I made you scream,
I don't understand what happened to our love,
but babe, I'm gonna get you back,
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of.
I can see you,
your brown skin shinin' in the sun,
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone,
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong,
after the boys of summer have gone.

Out on the road today, I saw a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac,
a little voice inside my head said, 'Don't look back, you can never look back',
I thought I knew what love was,
what did I know,
those days are gone forever,
I should just let 'em go but,
I can see you,
your brown skin shinin' in the sun,
you got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby,
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong,
after the boys of summer have gone,
I can see you,
your brown skin shinin' in the sun,
you got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby,
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong,
after the boys of summer have gone.
