Intro: (3X) 1. 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, tonite. Chorus: But I close my eyes and one more time we're spinning around and you're holding me 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 wander round this town-till summer comes around. 2. I got a job working at the old Park Pew. And every summer now for five long years. I greased the gears, fixed the lights, tightened bolts, straightened the tracks. And I count the days till you just might, come back. Chorus: Then I close my eyes and one more time we're spinning around and you're holding me 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 you'd be back again, and so I'm frozen in this town-till summer comes around. INSTRUMENTAL: (4X) 3. When I close my eyes, you and I stood on the ferris wheel riding with emotion. And hand in hand we cried and laughed knowing that earth belonged to us girl if only for a moment. And maybe I'll be back again you whispered in my ear but now the winter wind, is the only sound. And everything is closing down. Till summer comes around. Till summer comes around, yea yea. MM-MM Till it comes around, and it comes around. OO-OO-OO-OO-OO OO-OO-OO-OO-OO OO-OO-OO-OO-OO I Miss you baby, Oh I miss you baby.
