[Verse 1]
At times like this when I feel blue
I close my eyes and I think of you
And all the crazy things we do
On a long hot summer night
And drifting back to better days
When life and love had just began
And I never dreamed it could ever change, for anything

[Chorus]
But that was before
That was before

[Verse 2]
Waiting for you by that rickety gate
And heaven was a picnic by the side of the lake
Walking hand in hand, making all kinds of plans
On lazy summer days
Lying on the bank, looking up at the sky
Watching the clouds just float on by
Wishing we could bottle this moment in timе
To keep forever

[Chorus]
But that was beforе
That was before

[Verse 3]
Sometimes on days when I feel like this
I look back upon my first real kiss
Still makes me tremble
That feeling of bliss
Sometimes on days when I feel like this
And every now and then when I feel a breeze
Or hear something whistling through the trees
I get the feeling that you're standing by me

[Chorus]
Just like you did before
Like you did before
Like you did before

[Verse 4]
I know you gave me every chance to change
But I just kept on making the same mistakes
I never seemed to care about the price I payed
Until the day you walked away
At times like this when I feel blue
I close my eyes and I think of you
And all the crazy things we do
On a long hot summer night
