The sun once bathed the streets in gold, In days when we were young and bold, Our laughter echoed, hearts on high, In those summer days long gone by. The ice cream melted, just like time, As we danced to summer’s prime, The nights were endless, soft, and sly, In those summer days, now a sigh. Ah, summer’s long goodbye, Like a dream that went awry, Memories in the breeze spin by, With a tear, I bid goodbye. We chased the waves and wrote our names, In sand that the sea reclaims, Promises in dawn’s soft cry, Of those summer days, waving goodbye. The autumn leaves now paint the towns, Where once our joys would know no bounds, I still recall your soft goodbye, In those summer days now gone by. The shadows grow long, As I hum our sweet song, Holding on to the highs, Of summer’s long goodbyes.
