[Verse 1]

Nobody on the 

road

Nobody on the 

beach

I feel it in t

he air

The summer's o

ut of reach

Empty lake, em

pty streets

The sun goes d

own alone

I'm driving by

 your house

Though I know 

you're not hom

e


[Chorus 1]

But I can see 

you

Your brown ski

n shining in t

he sun

You got your h

air combed bac

k and your

Sunglasses on 

baby
             
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 dream

Remember how y

ou made me cra

zy?

Remember how I

 made you scre

am?

Now I don't un

derstand what 

happened to ou

r love

But babe I'm g

onna get you b

ack

I'm going to s

how you what I

'm made of


[Chorus 2]

I can see you

Your brown ski

n shining in t

he sun

I see you walk

ing real slow

Smiling at eve

ryone
             
I can tell you

      
 my love for y

ou will still 

be strong
            
After the boys

             
 of summer hav


e gone


[Verse 3]

Out on the roa

d today

I saw a Deadhe

ad sticker on 

a Cadillac

A little voice

 inside my hea

d said

"Don't look ba

ck, you can ne

ver look 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 bu

t...


[Chorus 3]

I can see you

Your brown ski

n shining in t

he sun

You got the to

p pulled down

Radio on, baby
             
I can tell you

     
 my love for y

ou will still 

be strong
            
After the boys

      
 of summer hav

e gone


[Chorus 4]

I can see you

Your brown ski

n shining in t

he sun

You got your h

air slicked ba

ck and those

Wayfarers on, 

baby
             
I can tell you

    
 my love for y

ou will still 

be strong
            
After the boys

       
 of summer hav

e gone
