summer of '42

Singer:bashi, kishi

what are the things you wanted

the same as anyone

just a hand to hold a little

after all is said and done

and the days were long and open

cause i had a view of you

the summer of '42

when i was in love with you

we counted stars above us

we dreamed of xanadu

we'd sneak off to the desert

the sand over your fancy shoes

the first day that i met you

i wrote down in my book

i am in love with you

i am in love with you

you

i am in love with you

you

i am in love with you

i'm in love with you

the days have gone asunder

the chaos of the war

made men of everybody

but our memories i adore

we named our favorite sunsets

but i remember very few

the summer of '42

when i was in love with you

but years have turned to ages

and i know you've someone new

i looked for you with every breath

a soldier wrecked with solitude

i climbed up the highest mountain

and i shouted to our view

i was in love with you

i was in love with you

you

i was in love with you

in love with you

you

i am in love with you

you

i am in love with you

i'm in love with you

you

i am in love with you

you

i am in love with you

i'm in love with you

you

i am in love

you

i am in love

i am in love with you

you

i am in love with you
