Summer's Promise

It was June and July, it was her and me, it was meant to be When the heat of the day became the heat of the night we held each other tight And we danced…all summer long And we sang…all summer long Vacations end and it was time to go, returning home on my own All that year I carried the mark of summer’s promise on my heart I would wait…for summer to come Counting days…until they all were gone But summer’s promise never meant to last She gave her heart and then she took it back People change and the world spins so fast Summer’s promise never meant to last The next June arrived and so did I, with a flower and a smile for her But the look on her face told me everything had changed We didn’t talk about it, but there was no doubt And to this day I have a scar where her promise broke and cut my heart And I cried…all summer long Summer’s promise never meant to last She gave her heart and then she took it back Feelings change and shatter like glass Summer’s promise never meant to last But summer’s promise never meant to last She gave her heart and then she took it back People change and the world spins so fast Summer’s promise never meant to last
