Lyrics
The sun went away, and came the night air
We walked on the sand, it was quiet there
A soft ocean breeze blew back your hair
We were young and it was summer
The morning was bright, you knocked on my door
We walked hand in hand to our secret shore
You kissed me, I wanted so much more
We were young and it was summer
(bridge)
On the beach was an old wooden pier
We watched the waves, you pulled me near
Our horizons were always crystal clear?
Summer flew by, it just wouldn?t stay
Our September sky had turned cloudy gray
But maybe, just maybe, we?ll meet again someday
Like we did when we were young
When we were young and it was summer
