I still remember the way you laughed in the sun
Your hair like gold a halo just for fun
We walked those streets where memories were made
But now they're shadows and I'm left to fade
Pre-Chorus
Oh the nights we stayed up talking 'til dawn
Dreaming of a future now that's gone
How did we lose what felt so right
In the middle of a perfect summer night?
It's a last summer's goodbye
You left without a reason why
Tears fall like the autumn rain
Wishing you'd come back again
But you're just a memory now
A faded love I don't know how
We went from always to never
Last summer's goodbye forever
I see your face in every crowded place
A ghost of love I can't erase
Our favorite songs now bittersweet
Playing on repeat in my mind so fleet
It's a last summer's goodbye
You left without a reason why
Tears fall like the autumn rain
Wishing you'd come back again
But you're just a memory now
A faded love I don't know how
We went from always to never
Last summer's goodbye forever
I keep the photos in a box tied with string
Reliving moments oh the joy they bring
But every smile now comes with pain
Knowing we won't share those days again
So here's to the love that slipped away
To the words we'll never get to say
In my heart you'll always lie
Wrapped in a last summer's goodbye
