E                       G#m7
Once there was a summer love
A                Emaj7
Long ago and far away
F#m                         E       C#m
The autumn whispers to the falling leaves
        F#m7        Am
Summer love can't stay

E                             G#m7
This was their place this was where
A                           Emaj7
Just for one moment without cares
F#m                          E            C#m
Two lovers dream of how the world should be
             F#m7                    E
Please bring back my summer love to me

    G#m
Did you have to go
    A
Did I have to stay
    G#m              A
Did you have to go away
G#m
Now it's all gone
      A
But who can forget
       F#m7
Summer love
               A  B7
Sweet summer love

I see your shadow everywhere
I feel your smile though you?re not there
A kiss for every star in the sky way above
You?ll always be my one and only summer love
