The Summer Lovers
Jimmy Webb
[Verse 1]
The summer lovers are brave at heart
They laugh and sing
Though they know they soon must part
And they go on, though their romance can never be
[Refrain]
The summer lovers
Like you and me
[Verse 2]
The summer lovers smile and pretend
That July is like forever
And August never ends
Each one pretending that the other one is free
[Refrain]
The summer lovers
Like you and me
[Bridge]
For summer is a state of the mind
And I know someday you'll be leaving me behind
[Verse 3]
The summer lovers are never missed
They fade away
As though they never did exist
But when they go, seems so strange to see them cry
[Refrain]
The summer lovers
Like you and I
