The Boys Of 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 driving by your house

Though I know you're not home.

But I can see you,

Your brown skin shining 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.

Now I don't understand what

Happened to our love.

But, baby, I'm gonna get you back,

I'm gonna show you what I'm made of.

But I can see you,

Your brown skin shining in the sun.

I see you walking real slow and you're

Smiling at everyone.

And 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 Black Head

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 them go, but...

But I can see you,

Your brown skin shining in the sun.

You got that top pulled down,

And that radio on, baby.

And 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 shining in the sun.

You got that hair slicked back,

And those Wayfarers on, baby.

And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong,

After the boys of summer have gone.
