Lyric

It was a burning hot summer, the heat made us bold

A fever that flared up, or so I am told

Did it really just vanish in one single season?

A midsummer love with no rhyme and no reason?

I knew from the moment our eyes finally met

It was you, only you—someone I’d never forget

This feeling is new, and it’s shaking my soul

I don’t want to lose this, I’m losing control

Under the sun, we were golden and bright

Don’t let it fade into the black of the night

The marks of my swimsuit are starting to fade

Our summer is slipping away in the shade

The two of us vanishing, out of the light

But my smoldering heart is still ready to fight

Light the fire again, let the embers ignite

I want to see you... just one more night

Like a dream in a dream, we were blooming so fair

With a radiant sparkle and love in the air

You broke every promise, you tore us apart

But I still search for reasons deep down in my heart

Someday I’ll know why you left me behind

Whatever the secret you hid in your mind

I won’t give it up, and I won’t let it go

Even when autumn winds start to blow

I’m waiting for you in the chill and the gray

Waiting for summer to come back my way

The marks of my swimsuit are starting to fade

Our summer is slipping away in the shade

The two of us vanishing, out of the light

But my smoldering heart is still ready to fight

Don’t let this be just a ghost in the night

Don't make it a memory

Hold me once more

Before the tan lines are gone
