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 spinning around and you're holding 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 the summer comes around

I got a job working 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

Then I close my eyes and one more time

We're spinning around and you're holding 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 the summer comes around

Comes Around

And I close my eyes and

You and I are stuck on the Ferris wheel

Riding with the motion

And hand in hand we cried and laughed

Knowing that love belonged to us girl, if only for a moment

And "Baby I'll be back again," you whispered in my

ear

But now the winter wind is the only sound

Yeah and everything is closing down

'Til summer comes around

'Til the summer Comes around

'Til it comes around

And comes around

And I miss you baby,

Oo and I miss you baby
