We can remembe

  
r swimming in 

December,
         
Heading for th

              
e city lights,

    
 in 1975

We share in ea

ch other

Nearer than fa

ther
         
The scent of a

            
 lemon, drips 

          
from your eyes


We are the peo

ple that rule 

the world

A force runnin

g in every boy

 and girl

All rejoicing 

in the world

Take me now

We can try


We lived an ad

venture

Love in the Su

mmer

Followed the s

un till night
          
Reminiscing ot

             
her times of l


ife
For each every other

The feeling wa

s stronger

The shock hit 

eleven
            
Got lost in yo

   
ur eyes


[Chorus]

             
I can’t do wel

            
l when I think

              
 you’re gonna 

              
leave me, but 

  
I know I try
              
Are you gonna 


leave me now
           
Can’t you be b

/
elieving now
(repeat)
