[Verse 1]
I was thinking of the words that she once said
About us driving in a Chevy in a no-man's-land long ago
And I remember how we laughed and passed the time
Recalling places that we went and people that we've known
Now the situation changed, our dreams have died
The endless summer that we shared is so long gone
There're only pieces of our lives seen as broken glass
Still the memories appear as I look in the black summer sun
Black summer sun

[Chorus]
So I'm staring at my black summer sun
'Cause there'll come a time it'll shine no more
There will come a time that we're no longer young
No longer young

[Verse 2]
The thought of you and me driving on a dusty road
With no soul around, just go up in smoke once more
Gives me the courage and the strength that I need to believe
That the times we shared in my mind were so real, were so real

[Chorus]
And I'm staring at my black summer sun
'Cause there'll come a time it'll shine no more
There will come a time that we're no longer young
No longer young
[Bridge]
For now I will say what's been said before
If you have real love, you don't want more
But if that love won't last, you'll get a second chance
To find your way and make it through someday

[Chorus]
So I'm staring at my black summer sun
'Cause there'll come a time it'll shine no more
There will come a time that we're no longer young
No longer young
So I'm staring at my black summer sun
'Cause there'll come a time it'll shine no more
There will come a time that we're no longer young
No longer young
