[Verse 1]
Close your eyes so you 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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'll 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 find your freedom
For eternity
For eternity

[Verse 2]
Yesterday when you were walking
We talked about your mum and dad
What they did that made you happy
What they did that made you sad

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I'll 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

[Chorus]
You were there for summer dreaming
And you are a friend indeed
And I hope you 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
For eternity
