Lyrics:
Summer is ending, the days are drawing in
But here you lie with me, an echo of it
Sweet summer romance doesn’t have to end here
Come closer warm me darling as the autumn comes near
The hottest of summers too must end
But that doesn't mean we have to my friend
No, no, no
For I love the autumn too, and I’d like to see it with you
So come closer hold me tight
Through the darkening autumn nights
Sweet lovesick cliches they roll off my tongue
What are you doing to me, what have you done darling
Kindness it comes so naturally to you
And the best thing is I’m having so much fun too
The hottest of summers too must end
But that doesn't mean we have to my friend
No, no, no For I love the winter too, and I’d like to see it with you
And the chilly winds that blow
Just mean I’ll get to hold you closer
Gaze out to sea with me, climb every hill
I’m no good at hiding how I feel
So say that you’ll come with me
Reach out across the distance and we’ll be ok
We’ll climb each wall and ford each stream that comes our way
The hottest of summers will come again
Let's greet the next one together
No matter where or when
You and I
For I love the spring too, and I’d like to see it with you
The new flowers and soft rain
Say that summer will come again
