We met after dark and after hours Your lips were cherry sour We didn't have to speak We were breaking out and starting over With nothing to control us A future set our feet But nothing gone can stay, you told me so Sometimes moving on means letting go Sad summer days don't fade away Don't fade away from me, no Sad summer days don't fade away Don't fade away from me, no Circling your block for half an hour You said they cut your power Now it's too hard to sleep Serendipity in summer showers We soak it up like flowers Growing through the concrete But nothing gone can stay, you told me so Now all the nights seem just a little darker Sometimes moving on means letting go And letting go is only getting harder Sad summer days don't fade away Don't fade away from me, no Sad summer days don't fade away Don't fade away from me, no Never know if you don't try Wasn't I, wasn't I sorry Never know if you don't try Wasn't I, wasn't I sorry Even when you're gone it's like I've heard my favorite song And now I never have to wonder Now I never have to wonder Even when you're gone it's like I've heard my favorite song And now I never have to wonder Now I never have to wonder Sad summer days don't fade away Don't fade away from me, no Sad summer days don't fade away Don't fade away from me, no Can't walk away
