When purple shades of evening fall
I don't see her face at all
Tonight is just a night like any other
Then I hear the music play
Violins inside me say
"Oh, it's gonna be a lonely summer"

That old song goes 'round my head
Bringing back the things you said
Oh, it's gonna be a lonely summer

There's a breeze above my shoulder
Seems to blow a little colder
Suddenly, I'm so much older
Thinking about you
Lonely without you

There will be a symphony
Playing on inside of me
Oh, it's gonna stay a lonely summer
Oh, it's gonna be a lonely summer

There's a breeze above my shoulder
Seems to blow a little colder
Suddenly, I'm so much older
Thinking about you
Lonely without you
There will be a symphony
Playing on inside of me
Oh, it's gonna stay a lonely summer
Oh, it's gonna be a lonely summer
