The moon was shining bright above us The flames danced to sky and our old town Breathed a knowing sigh, a wreath to our love Golden Days and warm nights Dancing in the streets to lift our hearts And to ease our minds, Save me save me Hey! Seemed the world stopped spinning round And the sky came tumbling down As we listened to the sound of summer You gave me hope when I was down I was lost and I was found We were living through, the sound of summer The sound of summer People watched and waited And wondered if their lives could be the same And if they would see their children smiling Please stay close beside me Cos nothing on this earth can touch you now Oh you shine so bright, my sorrow's fading
