(ba-da-da, ooh-wah-ooh)
We carved our names into the wooden pier
Believing we could make it stretch
a year
But August wind is growing cool
and sweet
And golden sand is slipping from
our feet
The sun is dipping low behind the bay (ahhh-ahhh) And tomorrow carries
you away
Oh, we had the world for just one summer
Dancing to the beat of our own drummer
Now the leaves are dry and the heat is gone But our
melody
is lingering on
(bye bye baby)
Your letters promise that you won't
forget
The boardwalk lights and where we
first met
But seasons turn and circles start
to spin
As the autumn chill begins to settle in
Oh, we had the world for just one summer
Dancing to the beat of our own drummer
Now the leaves are dry and the heat is gone But our
melody is lingering on
(bye
bye baby) (ba-da-da, ooh-wah-ooh)
Our melody stays on... (ooh-wah-ooh)
