'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 around this town

'Til summer comes around

I got a job workin' at the old park pier

And every summer now for five long years

I grease the gears, fix the lights, tighten bolts, and straighten the tracks

And I count the days 'til 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

'Til summer comes around

And it comes around

Oh and I close my eyes and you and I

Are stuck on the Ferris wheel ridin' with the motion

And hand in hand we cried and laughed

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

"Baby I'll be back again", you whispered in my ear

But now the winter wind is the only sound

And everythin' is closin' down

'Til summer comes around

'Til summer comes around

'Til it comes around and it comes around

And I miss you baby

And I miss you baby

And you're comin' back around

And you're comin' back around
