Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Took a sad song of one sweet evening
I smiled and quickly turned away
It's not easy singin' sad songs
But still the easiest way I have to say
[Verse 2]
So when you look into the sun
See all the things we haven't done
Or was it better then to run
Than to spend the summer crying?
Now summer can not come anyway
[Verse 3]
I had waited for time to change her
The only change that came was over me
She pretended not to want love
I hope she was only foolin' me
[Verse 4]
So when you look into the sun
Look for the pleasures nearly won
Or was it better then to run
Than to spend the summer singing?
And summer could have come in a day
[Verse 5]
So if you hear my sad song singin'
Remember who and what you nearly had
It's not easy singin' sad songs
When you can sing the song to make me glad
[Verse 6]
So when you look into the sun
And the see the word you could've sung
It's not too late, only begun, we can still make summer
Yes, summer always comes anyway
[Verse 7]
So when you look into the sun
And see the words you could've sung
It's not too late, only begun
Look into the sun
