[Intro]


[Verse 1]


   Nobody on t

he road, nobod

y on the beach

.
 
  I feel it in

 the air, the 

summer's out o

f reach.
 
   Empty lake,

 empty streets

, the sun goes

 down alone.
 
  I'm driving 

by your house,

 though I know

 your not home

.


[Chorus]

             
But I can see 

    
you, your brow

n skin shining

 in the sun.
              
You got your h

              
air combed bac

         
k and your sun

glasses on, ba

by.
             
I can tell you

    
 my love for y

ou will still 

be strong
              
After the boys

   
 of summer hav

e gone.




[Verse 2]



I never will f

orget those ni

ghts. I wonder

 if it was a d

ream.

Remember how y

ou made me cra

zy, Remember h

ow I made you 

scream.

Now I don't un

derstand what 

Happened to ou

r love.

But baby, when

 I get you bac

k, I'm gonna s

how you what I

'm made of.


[Chorus]

             
But I can see 

    
you, your brow

n skin shining

 in the sun.
              
I see you walk

              
ing real slow 

            
and your smili

ng at everyone
             
I can tell you

    
 my love for y

ou will still 

be strong
              
After the boys

    
 of summer hav

[Verse 3]


Out on the roa

d today I saw 

a Dead Head St

icker on a Cad

illac.

A little voice

 inside my hea

d said:"Don't 

look back, you

 can never loo

k back."

I thought I kn

ew what love w

as. What did I

 know?

Those days are

 gone forever.

 I should just

 let them go, 

but


[Chorus]

             
But I can see 

    
you, your brow

n skin shining

 in the sun.
              
You got your t

              
op pulled down

            
 and your radi

o on, baby
             
I can tell you

    
 my love for y

ou will still 

be strong
              
After the boys

    
 of summer hav

e


             
But I can see 

    
you, your brow

n skin shining

 in the sun.
              
You got your h

              
air slicked ba

            
ck, and your w

ayfairers on, 

baby
             
I can tell you

    
 my love for y

ou will still

After the boys
