In the summertime
I don't know if the stars were aligned
We stumbled onto something we would like
And I'm afraid I lost the words tonight

And in your summer dress I was holding you
But you were holding less
It's not the words it's the ones you stress
"I'll love you is I love you just don't love me less."

And once in a while
I know our hearts beat out of time
And once in a while
I know they'll fall back in line

And in the summertime
I don't know if the stars were aligned
We stumbled onto something we would like
I'm afraid I lost the words tonight

And when we're middle-aged
You'll tell me I loved you like a renegade
And how I say the things that make you sway
And mostly told you you did the same

Once in a while
I know our hearts beat out of time
And once in a while
I know they'll fall back in line

Our love is strong
Our love is strong
Our love is strong
While my heart's still pumping blood
