'Til Summer Comes Around

Another long summer's come and gone

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

But I close my eyes and one more time

We're spinnin' around and you're holdin' on tightly

The words came out, I kissed your mouth

No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly

You had to go, I understand

But you promised you'd be back again

And so I wander 'round this town

Till summer comes around, ooh

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, straighten the tracks

And I count the days till you just might come back

And then I close my eyes and one more time

We're spinnin' around and you're holdin' on tightly

The words came out, I kissed your mouth

No fourth of July has ever burned so brightly

You had to go, I understand

But you swore that you'd be back again

And so I'm frozen in this town

Till summer comes around

Yeah, yeah

And it comes around

Oh, and I close my eyes and you and I

Are stuck on a ferris wheel rockin' with the motion

And hand in hand we cried and laughed

Knowin' that love belonged to us girl, if only for a moment

And "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

Till summer comes around

Till summer comes around, yeah, mmm

Till it comes around and it comes around

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh

And I miss you, baby

Ooh, and I miss you, baby

And you're comin' back around

And you're comin' back around
