Lyrics

Who would believe this night could be our last?
So come to me don't let it pass
Tomorrow comes but tonight can still be ours
Feel every touch like it's the last
We won't talk about it there's nothing to say
Just here tonight hold onto me tight
We'll chase away the day

Like when we were young
And we were together and time stood still
When we were young
And waited forever our dreams to fill
But now you're gone when summer is over and much too soon
The cold winds cut through long December nights
The day you broke my heart and left my life
The rain fell through July

The movie plays the memories we made
My tears will fall there's nothing to say
The candle light still dances on the walls
I can't go back but I can't go on
I watch you walk away through that open door
Where you go I can't follow I can't take anymore

And think back to when we were young
And we were together and time stood still
When we were young
And waited forever our dreams to fill
But now you're gone when summer is over and much too soon
The cold winds cut through long December nights
The day you broke my heart and left my life
The rain fell through July

But now you're gone when summer is over and much too soon
The cold winds cut through long December nights
The day you broke my heart and left my life
The rain fell through July

When we were young
And we were together and time stood still
When we were young
And waited forever our dreams to fill
But now you're gone when summer is over and much too soon
The cold winds cut through long December nights
The day you broke my heart and left my life
The rain fell through July
