Verse 1:
Another lost summer's come and gone
And 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
Chorus:
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, and I understand
But you promised you'd be back again
And so I wandered round this town

Til summer comes around
Verse 2:
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
and straighten the tracks
And I count the days til you just might come back
Chorus:
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, and I understand
But you swore that you'd be back again
And so I'm frozen in this town

Til summer comes around

Chorus:
And I close my eyes and you and I
Are stuck on the ferris wheel rockin with the motion
And hand in hand we cried and laughed
Knowing that love belonged to us,
girl, if only for a mo-ment
Baby, I'll be back again" you whispered in my ear
But now the winter wind is the only sound
And everything is closing down

Til summer comes around
