Lyrics

Can’t be lieve you’re pack ing your bags; try ing so hard not to cry.

Had the best time and (C)now it’s the worst time, but we have to say good bye.

Don’t prom ise that you’re gon na write.

Don’t (Gm7)prom ise that you’ll call.

Just prom ise that you won’t for get we (Bb)had it all.

’Cause you were (F)mine

for the sum mer, now we know it’s near ly o ver.

Feels like (F)snow

in Sep tem ber but I al ways will re mem ber.

You were (F)my

sum mer love.

You (F)al ways will be my

sum mer love.
