Promise Of Summer

They met in Savannah

She's the sweetest melody

She was a private school girl

Disapproving family

He never understood just what she saw in him

Working days at the marina

The nights were left to dream

The winter fields begin to recover

And finally it's the promise of summer

Lights are shining round

And the guards are coming down

All around

Love at first sight

They were young and they were free

It started at a bonfire

With friends down at the beach

Her skin shown so brown

In that summer firelight

Spent the whole evening

Laughing as the morning she'd the night

The winter fields begin to recover

And finally it's the promise of summer

Lights are shining round

And the guards are coming down

Across the world they run to each other

Finally it's the promise of summer

Rain after the drought

And they won't have to go without

No, no, no

It's the promise of summer

Not a day goes by when

He doesn't think of her

Seems like he spends his life

Trying to make things the way they were

I guess a trip down south might be the only cure

Across the Carolina border

And go look around for her

The winter fields begin to recover

And finally it's the promise of summer

Lights are shining round

And the guards are coming down

Across the world they run to each other

Finally it's the promise of summer

The promise of summer

The promise of summer

The winter fields begin to recover

And finally it's the promise of summer

The promise of summer

Across the world they run to each other

And finally it's the promise of summer

The promise of summer
