| Another long summer’s come and gone
 | 
| I don’t know why it always ends this way
 | 
| The boardwalk’s quiet and the carnival rides
 | 
| Are as empty as my broken heart tonight
 | 
| But I close my eyes and one more time
 | 
| We’re spinnin' around and you’re holdin' on tightly
 | 
| The words came out, I kissed your mouth
 | 
| No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly
 | 
| You had to go I understand
 | 
| But you promised you’d be back again
 | 
| And so I wander around this town
 | 
| 'Til summer comes around
 | 
| I got a job workin' at the old park pier
 | 
| And every summer now for five long years
 | 
| I grease the gears, fix the lights, tighten bolts, straighten the tracks
 | 
| And I count the days til' you just might come back
 | 
| And then I close my eyes and one more time
 | 
| We’re spinnin' around and you’re holdin' on tightly
 | 
| The words came out, I kissed your mouth
 | 
| No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly
 | 
| You had to go I understand
 | 
| But you swore that you’d be back again
 | 
| And so I’m frozen in this town
 | 
| 'Til summer comes around
 | 
| And it comes around
 | 
| Oh and I close my eyes and you and I Are stuck on the Ferris wheel ridin' with the motion
 | 
| And hand in hand we cried and laughed
 | 
| Knowin' that love belonged to us girl if only for a moment
 | 
| «Baby I’ll be back again», you whispered in my ear
 | 
| But now the winter wind is the only sound
 | 
| And everythin' is closin' down
 | 
| 'Til summer comes around
 | 
| 'Til summer comes around
 | 
| 'Til it comes around and it comes around
 | 
| And I miss you baby
 | 
| And I miss you baby
 | 
| And you’re comin' back down
 | 
| And you’re comin' back down |
