[Verse] Golden sun in his hair so bright We chased the waves till the edge of night His laughter echoed like a sweet refrain But seasons change and hearts feel the strain [Prechorus] Oh the boardwalk lights They shimmered They gleamed But love like this feels like a dream [Chorus] He was my summer My boy by the bay Caught in the moment We danced in the spray I can still hear him His voice in the breeze But summer fades Oh It fades with the leaves [Verse 2] Ice cream dripped down our sandy hands Flip-flop steps left trails in the golden sand We whispered secrets beneath the stars But the world turns And it pulls us apart [Chorus] He was my summer My boy by the bay Caught in the moment We danced in the spray I can still hear him His voice in the breeze But summer fades Oh It fades with the leaves [Bridge] Seagulls cry where we once stood I’d hold him forever If only I could The ocean still sings But the song has changed His memory lingers But it's rearranged
