[Verse 1] We were barefoot on the blacktop, fireflies in the air You leaned in with a whisper, like nothin’ else was there Your hand fit just right, like a song I knew But seasons change, and so did you [Chorus] Under the last light of July We said goodbye, but didn’t cry Like the sun sinkin’ low in that peach-pink sky We knew some things just can’t survive But I still taste that cherry kiss In every sunset I miss And I’ll never forget that night In the last light of July [Verse 2] You wore that faded denim, and I played my old guitar We danced in the gravel lot beneath the county stars Time slowed down, but moved too fast Now all I’ve got’s a summer that didn’t last [Chorus] Under the last light of July We said goodbye, but didn’t cry Like the sun sinkin’ low in that peach-pink sky We knew some things just can’t survive But I still taste that cherry kiss In every sunset I miss And I’ll never forget that night In the last light of July [Bridge] Maybe love’s just a season, passin’ through But part of me stayed there — part of you did too [Final Chorus] Under the last light of July We let go, but we don’t know why Now I chase that sky when the colors fly Thinkin’ ’bout you every time I still taste that cherry kiss In every sunset I miss And I’ll never forget that night In the last light of July
