Singalong! The Boys of Summer by Don Henley

I can't tell you why, I can't tell you how, but I love this song so very, very much! It makes me grab at my heart and sing along every time. It's got all the good sides about Summer Lovin' from Grease, but without the weird sexual assault references.

BOYS OF SUMMER

by Don Henley

Nobody on the road,

Nobody on the beach

I feel it in the air

The summer's out of reach

Empty lake, empty streets

The sun goes down alone

I'm driving by your house

Don't know you're not home

But I can see you

Your brown skin shining in the sun

You got your hair combed back

And your sunglasses on, baby

I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights

I wonder if it was a dream

Remember how you made me crazy

Remember how I made you scream

I don't understand what happened to our love

But, baby, I'm gonna get you back

I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

I can see you,

Your brown skin shining in the sun

I see you walking real slow

And you're smiling at everyone

And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong

After the boys of summer have gone

Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac

A little voice inside my head said

Don't look back, you can never look back

I thought I knew what love was

What did I know?

Those days are gone forever

I should just let 'em go, but

I can see you,

Your brown skin shining in the sun

You got that top pulled down,

And that radio on, baby

And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong,

After the boys of summer have gone
