  • Close your eyes so your don't fear them
    They don't need to see you cry
    I can't promise I will heal you
    But if you want to, I will try

    I'll sing this somber serenade
    The past is done
    We've been betrayed
    It's true
    Someone said the truth will out
    I believe without a doubt, in you

    You were there for summer dreaming
    And you gave me what I need
    And I hope you find your freedom
    For eternity
    For eternity

    Yesterday when you were walking
    We talked about your mom and dad
    What they did that made you happy
    What they did that made you sad
    We sat and watched the sun go down
    Picked a star before we lost the moon
    Youth is wasted on the young
    Before you know it's come and gone too soon

    You were there for summer dreaming
    And you gave me what I need
    And I hope you find your freedom
    For eternity
    For eternity

    For eternity
    I'll sing this somber serenade
    The past is done
    We've been betrayed
    It's true
    Youth is wasted on the young
    Before you know it's come and gone too soon

    You were there for summer dreaming
    And you are a friend indeed
    And I hope you'll find your freedom
    For eternity

    You were there for summer dreaming
    And you are a friend indeed
    And I know you'll find your freedom
    Eventually
    For eternity
