[Verse 1]

You looked a little cold to me

So I gave you that army green

Jacket that was in my trunk

It didn't fit, you didn't care

A little chill was in the air

And you were just warming up

You smiled and we sang

[Chorus]

I wanna thank that band

Whoever they were for playing our song

And all the stars up there

For getting in line and shining down on

That boardwalk you and I strolled down

Light's dancing on the water from the merry-go-round

We made a lotta memories, ain't no doubt

But there's only one summer young

[Verse 2]

I stood behind you while you swayed

And looked down at your pretty face

Thought "Man I'm falling hard for her"

Yeah, we get those memories now and then

The kind you pray will never end

And that's exactly where we were

Oh, I smiled while you danced

[Chorus]

I wanna thank that band

Whoever they were for playing our song

And all the stars up there

For getting in line and shining down on

That boardwalk you and I strolled down

Light's dancing on the water from the merry-go-round

We made a lotta memories, ain't no doubt

But there's only one summer young, ooh

[Bridge]

Every time we hear it now

It's going to take us back

[Chorus]

I wanna thank that band

Whoever they were for playing our song

And all the stars up there

For getting in line and shining down on

That boardwalk you and I strolled down

Light's dancing on the water from the merry-go-round

We made a lotta memories, ain't no doubt

But there's only one summer young

[Outro]

Oh, summer young

Summer young

Ooh, summer young
