[Verse 1] Hot sand on my shoes When the day let go We counted the waves Till the whole block slowed Your laugh on the curb And the screen door creak Same old summer Still got hold of me [Pre-Chorus] Oh, we were young And the air stayed sweet Bare feet on the tile That old heart beat Oh, pull me back To that amber sky One more spin Before the night runs by [Chorus] Summer nights, stay (Stay, stay) Summer nights, stay (Stay with me) That golden glow In the corner of my mind Summer nights, stay (Stay, stay) Summer nights, stay (Stay with me) We were there And we never said goodbye [Verse 2] Ice in a cup Melting through my hand Radio low From the parked-out van Your name in the dark On a fogged-up glass Every little moment Moves like it never passed [Pre-Chorus] Oh, we were young And the air stayed sweet Bare feet on the tile That old heart beat Oh, pull me back To that amber sky One more spin Before the night runs by [Chorus] Summer nights, stay (Stay, stay) Summer nights, stay (Stay with me) That golden glow In the corner of my mind Summer nights, stay (Stay, stay) Summer nights, stay (Stay with me) We were there And we never said goodbye [Bridge] Take me to the porch light Take me to the bend in the road Take me to the way we knew How to make a memory glow If the years keep calling Let them wait outside I still hear your voice there On a warm July [Chorus] Summer nights, stay (Stay, stay) Summer nights, stay (Stay with me) That golden glow In the corner of my mind Summer nights, stay (Stay, stay) Summer nights, stay (Stay with me) We were there And we never said goodbye
