'Til Summer Comes Around
Keith Urban Lyrics

Another long summer's come and gone
Another year of summer has gone by

I don't know why it always ends this way
The summer ending always feels crushing and he doesn't know why

The boardwalk's quiet and the carnival rides
The boardwalk and carnival are empty and quiet

Are as empty as my broken heart tonight
The emptiness of the boardwalk is like the emptiness he feels because of his broken heart

But I close my eyes and one more time
In his mind, he can relive the memories of better times

We're spinning around and you're holding on tightly
He remembers a moment of happiness when they were spinning around together

The words came out, I kissed your mouth
He kissed her passionately and expressed his love for her

No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly
That particular Fourth of July held a special memory for him because of her

You had to go, I understand
She had to leave and he understands why

But you promised you'd be back again
She promised she would return eventually

And so I wander 'round this town
He walks around aimlessly hoping to see her again

'Til summer comes around
He waits until the next summer, hoping she'll be back then

I got a job working at the old park pier
He got a job at the park where they used to hang out

And every summer now for five long years
For five years, he's been working there, waiting for her

I grease the gears, fix the lights, tighten bolts, straighten the tracks
As part of his job, he maintains the rides, to make the park more beautiful for her

And I count the days til you just might come back
He counts down the days until she might return, always hopeful

And then I close my eyes and one more time
Memories of better times come back to him when he closes his eyes

We're spinning around and you're holding on tightly
He remembers the happiness they felt when they were together

The words came out, I kissed your mouth
He keeps remembering the passionate moment when he kissed her

No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly
That particular Fourth of July was special because of her

You had to go, I understand
He continues to understand why she left

But you swore you'd be back again
She promises to return to him eventually

And so I'm frozen in this town
He's stuck in this town, waiting for her return

'Til summer comes around
He waits until the next summer in hope of seeing her again

And I close my eyes and you and I
He still has vivid memories of her

Are stuck on the Ferris wheel rocking with the motions
His memory of spending time on the Ferris wheel with her is still so strong

And Hand in hand we cried and laughed
They shared moments of both sadness and joy together

Knowing that love belonged to us girl, if only for a moment
He thinks about how even though their love lasted only a moment, it was real and special

And "Baby I'll be back again" you whispered in my ear
She keeps promising him she will come back

But now the winter wind is the only sound
Currently, there's only a cold and lonely silence

And everything is closing down
The park and boardwalk are closing down for the winter

'Til summer comes around
He's still waiting for her to come back, and won't stop until the next summer

'Til summer comes around
He keeps holding on until her return

'Til it comes around
He lives in hope for her return
