Close your eyes so you don't feel 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 sing this summer 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 

(chorus) 
You were there for summer dreaming 
and you gave me what I need 
and I hope you'll 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 

I sing this summer 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
