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
I'm spinnin' around and you're holding on tightly
The words came out
I kissed your mouth
No 4th of July has ever burned so brightly
You had to go I understand
But you promised you'd be back again
And so I wonder round this town
Til summer comes around.

I got a job workin' at the old park pier
And every summer now for 5 long years
I grease the gears fix the lights tighten bolts
straighten the tracks
And I count the days til you just might come back

But then I close my eyes and one more time
I'm spinnin' around and you're holding on tightly
The words came out
I kissed your mouth
No 4th of July has ever burned so brightly
You had to go I understand
But you swore that you'd be back again
And so Im frozen in this town
Til summer comes around.

Oh Then I close my eyes and you and I
Stuck on the ferris wheel rockin' with the motion
And hand in hand we cried and laughed
Knowin' that the earth belonged to us
girl if only for a moment
Baby I'd be back again you whispered in my ear
But now the winter wind is the only sound
And everything is closin' down
Til summer comes around
Til summer comes around...
