[Intro]
In the summer of seventy seven under the stars so bright,
Two young hearts, full of dreams, chasing the light.
Precious time together on the east coast sand,
Whispers of love, kisses and holding hands
[Verse 1]
Two teenage souls, worlds apart but close,
Different schools, but love's the one thing they chose.
Her parents’ house, a secret place they found,
Innocence wrapped in silence, heartbeats a joyful sound.
[Pre-Chorus]
Stolen moments, the thrill of a first embrace,
Every kiss was a promise, every glance, a trace.
The sun was shining brightly, the summer felt so high,
With ice cream and laughter, and dreams that couldn't die.
[Chorus]
Oh, to see her smile and hear her voice again,
After all these years, I would feel sixteen once more,
Sometimes I close my eyes, and it's those summer nights,
Where I fell in love with my girl next door.
[Verse 2]
School days turned to work, life pulled them apart,
She found her own way, and he tried to restart.
Time slipped away like the waves on the shore,
But memories linger, still longing for more.
[Pre-Chorus]
Years went by, but the warmth still remains,
In a crowded street , he thinks, would she know me again?
Caught up in the rush, he can’t help but pine,
For that first sweet love, frozen in time.
[Chorus]
Oh, to see her smile and hear her voice again,
After all these years, I would feel sixteen once more,
Sometimes I close my eyes, and it's those summer nights,
Where I fell in love with my girl next door.
[Bridge]
Should some fateful day, we are stood in the rain,
A spark in her eyes, though life brought her pain.
Words begin to flow, like the tide on the sand,
Two friends reminiscing , we would both understand
[Outro]
So here’s to that long hot summer, to love that will never fade,
To the moments immortal in the choices we’ve made.
Though paths may diverge and life leads us away,
In the heart, she'll always, forever, stay.
