The Corey Lloyd Band – Summer's Over lyrics

It was early summer
Around the Fourth of July
I was soaking up the sunshine
After graduation
When she walked on by

Pretty little Boston girl
I watched the fireworks in her eyes
Making love on the beach in the sweltering heat
And I lost my heart

Chorus:
(but she said) When summer’s over, baby
Then it’s time to say goodbye
Cause you know a summer love’s not like a normal love
It ain’t meant to last
Oh my darling, we’ll kiss one last time
When it’s starting to get cold, you know I gotta go
When summer’s over, baby.

V3: I didn’t know the difference
I thought that love was all the same
But she taught me bout’ the rules of a summer beach fling
And why it couldn’t last

I was heartbroken
But then her words made sense to me
Keeping love alive from a distance
Ain’t no way to be

CHORUS:

Oh we shared the greatest summer of my life
We laughed and danced until the autumn breezes blew…
…away our love…

CHORUS

Chorus X2:

Chorus –
…that when summer’s over, baby
Then it’s time to say goodbye
Cause you know a summer love’s not like a normal love
It ain’t meant to last
Oh my darling, we’ll kiss one last time
(When it’s starting to get cold, you know I gotta go
When summer’s over, baby. (X3)
