| When I close my eyes she is sitting there
|
| Deep blue denim, Sunkist hair
|
| Feet dangling from the dock, calling me by name
|
| Well before we knew it we was jumping in
|
| Way deeper than we’ve ever been
|
| Then making our way to sweet spot under the shade
|
| Every time I go down on the river
|
| And watch those ripples wash away
|
| I can’t help but curse September for stealing her away
|
| Cause the memories just don’t fade like those long summer days. |
| (oh yeah)
|
| Yeah we were laying the low
|
| The moon was getting high
|
| Yankee Doodle Dandy and American Pie
|
| I was stoking the fire and the heat was coming on strong
|
| Yeah we were popping tops and telling tales
|
| Strumming my guitar, lord it never fails
|
| We were there all night, but it didn’t take long
|
| Every time I go down on the river
|
| And watch those ripples wash away
|
| I can’t help but curse September for stealing her away
|
| Cause the memories just don’t fade like those long summer days
|
| I can’t rewind the days I know
|
| But if I could thats where I’d go
|
| Every time I go down on the river
|
| And watch those ripples wash away
|
| I can’t help but curse September for stealing her away
|
| The memories just don’t fade like those long summer days
|
| Like those long, long summer days
|
| Yeah we were laying low the moon was getting high
|
| Long, long summer days |
