Lyrics

Yeah.

Oh.

Oh, oh.

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

But we have to say good bye.

Don’t (F#m)prom ise that you’ll call.

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

’Cause you were mine

for the sum (Bm)mer.

Now we know it’s near ly o ver.

Feels like snow

in Sep tem ber but I al ways will re mem ber you were my

sum mer love.

You (E)al ways will be my

sum mer love.

Wish that we could be a lone now if we could find some place to hide.

Make the last time and (B)just like the first time, push a but ton and re wind.

Don’t say the word that’s on (B)your lips.

Don’t (F#m)look at me that way.

Just prom ise you’ll re mem ber when the (A)sky is grey.

’Cause you were mine

for the sum (Bm)mer.

Now we know it’s near ly o ver.

Feels like snow

in Sep tem ber but I al ways will re mem ber you were my

sum mer love.

You (E)al ways will be my

So please (B)don’t make this an y hard er.

We (F#m)can’t take this an y far ther.

And (A)I know there’s noth ing that I wan na change,

’Cause you were mine

Now we know it’s near ly o ver.

Feels like snow

in Sep tem ber but I al ways will re mem ber you were my

sum mer love.

You (E)al ways will be my

sum mer love.

You (E)al ways will be my
