| Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone |

| 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 |
| - Now I don't understand what happened to our love |
| But babe, I'm gonna get you back, I'm gonna show you - what I'm made of |
| I can see you, your brown skin shinin' in the sun |
| I see you walkin' real slow - smilin' for everyone |
| I can tell you my love for you will still be strong |

| Out on the road today, I saw a Dead Head 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 them go but |
| I can see you, your brown skin shinin' 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 |
| I can see you, your brown skin shinin' in the sun |
| You got your hair slicked back and those - Wayfarers on, baby |
| I can tell you my love for you will still be strong |
