Henley Don The Boys Of Summer Lyrics

The Boys Of Summer Lyrics

Nobody on the road 

 nobody on the beach. 

 I feel it in the air: The summer's out of reach. 

 Empty lake 

 empty streets 

 the sun goes down alone. 

 I'm driving by your house though I know you're not home. 

 But I can see you 

 your brown skin shining in the sun 

  

 You got your hair comb'd back and sunglasses on 

 baby. 

 And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 

 After the boys of summer have gone. 

 I never will forget those nights 

 I wonder if it was a dream. 

 Remember how you made me crazy 

 remember how I made you scream 

 And I don't understand what happened to our love 

  

 But baby 

 I'm gonna get you back 

  

 I'm gonna show you what I'm made of 

 I can see you 

 your brown skin shining in the sun 

  

 I see you walking real slow and you're smiling at ev'ryone. 

 I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 

 After the boys of summer have gone. 

 Out on the road today I saw a deadhead sticker on a cadillac. 

 A little voice inside my head said: 

 Don't look back 

 you can never look back. 

 I thought I knew what love was 

 what did I know? 

 Those days are gone forever 

 I should just let them go but: 

 I can see you 

 your brown skin shining in the sun 

  

 You got that top pulled down and that radio on 

 baby. 

 I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 

 After the boys of summer have gone. 

 I can see you 

 your brown skin shining in the sun 

  

 You got your hair slick'd back and your wavarers on 

 baby. 

 And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 

 After the boys of summer have gone
