Cruel Summer

Blazing Sun on a midday sky
Walking fast just to get by
Ice cream melting on the heat
Your laughter pulling me to my feet

Oh it's a cruel summer my dear
But oh boy I'll hold you near
Though the tides have come and gone
My heart to you it clings on

Sneakers squeak on the pavement wide
You took my hand and we did ride
Through the city lights so bright
Endless talks under the night

Oh it's a cruel summer my dear
But oh boy I'll hold you near
Though the tides have come and gone
My heart to you it clings on

Rain falls and memories fade
Seasons turn but I'm not afraid
Though you left with autumn leaves
In my heart it forever breathes

Sandcastles crumbled but hearts are strong
You were right where I belong
Even when the winter's cold
Our summer romance still unfolds
