The summer sun went down
on our love long ago
But in my heart
I feel the same old afterglow
A love so beautiful in every way
A love so beautiful
we let it slip away
We were all too young
to understand to ever know
That lovers drift apart
and that's the way love goes
A love so beautiful
a love so free
A love so beautiful
a love for you and me
And when I think of you
I fall in love again
A love so beautiful in every way
A love so beautiful
we let it slip away
<Interlude>
A love so beautiful in every way
A love so beautiful
we let it slip away
The summer sun went down
on our love long ago
But in my heart
I feel the same old afterglow
A love so beautiful in every way
A love so beautiful
we let it slip away
We were all too young
to understand to ever know
That lovers drift apart
and that's the way love goes
A love so beautiful
a love so free
A love so beautiful
a love for you and me
And when I think of you
I fall in love again
A love so beautiful in every way
A love so beautiful
we let it slip away
<Interlude>
A love so beautiful in every way
A love so beautiful
we let it slip away
ill get better
You'll find work
and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house
and live in the suburbs
I remember we were driving
driving in your car
The speed so fast
I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice
wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling
that I belonged
And I had a feeling
I could be someone
be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
And I got a job
that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking
late at the bar
See more of your friends than
you do of your kids
I'd always hoped for better
Thought maybe together you
and me would find it
I got no plans
I ain't going nowhere
So take your fast car
and keep on driving
I remember we were driving
driving in your car
The speed so fast
I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice
wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling
that I belonged
And I had a feeling
I could be someone
be someone, be someone
You got a fast car
But is it fast enough
so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live
and die this way
