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 tonight.

But I close my eyes and one more time
We're spinning around and you're holding on tightly
The words came out
I kissed your mouth
No Fourth 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 around this town
'Til the summer comes around

I got a job working at the old park pier
and every Summer now for five long years
I grease the gears, fix the lights, tighten bolts,
straighten the tracks
And I count the days 'til you just might come back

Then I close my eyes and one more time
We're spinning around and you're holding on tightly
The words came out
I kissed your mouth
No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly
You had to go I understand,
But you swore that you'd be back again
And so I'm frozen in this town
'Til the summer comes around
Comes Around

And I close my eyes and
You and I are stuck on the Ferris wheel
Riding with the motion
And hand in hand we cried and laughed
Knowing that love belonged to us girl, if only for a moment
And "Baby I'll be back again," you whispered in my
ear
But now the winter wind is the only sound
Yeah and everything is closing down
'Til summer comes around
'Til the summer Comes around
'Til it comes around
And comes around

And I miss you baby,
Oo and I miss you baby
