Close your eyes so you don't feel them

They don't need to see you cry

I can't promise I will heal you

But if you want to I will try

To sing this summer serenade

The past is done we've been betrayed It's true

Some might say the truth will out

But I believe without a doubt in you

You were there for summer dreaming

And you gave me what I need

And I hope you find your freedom

For eternity

For eternity

Yesterday when we were walking

You talked about your ma and dad

What they did that made you happy

What they did that made you sad

We sat and watched the sun go down

Then picked a star before we lost the moon

Youth is wasted on the young

Before you know it's come and gone too soon

You were there for summer dreaming

And you gave me what I need

And I hope you find your freedom

For eternity

For eternity

You were there for summer dreaming

And you are a friend indeed

And I hope you find your freedom

Eventually

You were there for summer dreaming

And you gave me what I need

And I know you'll find your freedom

Eventually

For eternity
