Girl it always seems about September 
That’s the time, again I remember the lights 
And all the fun of those summer nights 
Young and innocent and livin’ fast 
Didn’t know enough to know 
That a summer love can’t last 
Can’t last 

Then the snow, it fell without a warning 
Left me standin' out in the cold 
My heart shattered, thinking only of yesterday 
Does me no good to reminisce 
I can really only tell you this 
If I had my way, I'd take yesterday 

Do you remember those 
Summer nights all night 
Dancin’ in the light of love (dancin’ in the light of love) 
Summer nights so right 
Couldn’t last beyond September 
Summer nights all night 
Livin’ for your love 
Dreamin' only of 
You and summer nights 

I remember playin’ by the shoreline 
Before the fall when we had it all at our fingertips 
Buildin’ castles in the driftin’ sand 
Raced the waves as they ran to the shore 
But the tides were turned for ever more 
And the things we planned 
Were castles made of sand 

Do you remember those 
Summer nights all night 
Dancin’ in the light of love (dancin’ in the light of love) 
Summer nights so right 
Couldn’t last beyond September 
Summer nights all night 
Livin’ for your love 
Dreamin' only of 
You and summer nights 

Oooh, summer nights 
Makin' love beneath the northern lights 
Oooh, summer nights 
Now I'm back on my own again 
Oooh, summer nights 
We were diamonds in the rough in the moonlight 
Oooh summer nights 
Now I’m out in the cold again 
Back on my own again 

I remember those 
Summer nights all night 
Dancin’ in the light of love (dancin' in the light of love) 
Summer nights so right 
Couldn’t last beyond September 
Summer nights all night 
Dancin’ in the light of love 
Summer nights so right 
Couldn’t last beyond September 
Summer nights all night 
Dancin’ in the light of love (dancin' in the light of love) 
Summer nights so right 
Couldn’t last beyond September
