Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I never promised you a happy ending
You never said you wouldn't make me cry
But summer love will keep us warm long after
Our autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye
Thinkin' of you, and the love of our lives in the sweet summertime
[Verse 2]
So sad, but true (So true, so true)
You must leave it behind
In our hearts, in our minds
From April through September
Bittersweet was the love that we shared
Don't forget, I remember
[Verse 3]
I never promised you a happy ending
You never said you wouldn't make me cry (Summer love)
But summer love will keep us warm long after
Our autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye
[Verse 4]
I never promised you a happy ending
You never said you wouldn't make me cry
(Summer love)
But summer love will keep us warm long after
Our autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye
[Verse 5]
Memories can fade (They can fade)
But my heart has a place for the smile on your face
And maybe someday (Someday)
We can be more than friends, love will find us again
[Verse 6]
Red leaves and blue tomorrows
Time to get back the love that we shared
On the time that we borrowed
[Verse 7]
I never promised you a happy ending
You never said you wouldn't make me cry
(Summer love)
But summer love will keep us warm long after
Our autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye
[Verse 8]
I never promised you a happy ending
You never said you wouldn't make me cry
(Summer love)
But summer love will keep us warm long after
Our autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye
[Verse 9]
Round April through September
Bittersweet was the love that we shared
Don't forget, I remember, baby, baby
[Verse 10]
I never promised you a happy ending
You never said
You never said you wouldn't make me cry
(Summer love)
But summer love will keep us warm long after
Our autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye
[Verse 11]
I never promised you a happy ending
You never said you wouldn't make me cry
(Summer love)
But summer love will keep us warm long after
Our autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye
[Verse 12]
We'll leave behind, the summertime
Our hearts, our minds
They will remind
We won't forget
The day we met
The day we cried
Our autumn goodbye
[Verse 13]
I never promised you a happy ending
You never said you wouldn't make me cry
(Summer love)
But summer love will keep us warm long after
Our autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye, autumn goodbye
[Verse 14]
I never promised you a happy ending
You never said you wouldn't make me cry
But summer love will keep us warm long after
Our autumn goodbye
