I thought I knew what love was
After the boys of summer have gone
Those days are gone forever, I should just let them go
I feel it in the air, the summer's out of reach
A little voice inside my head said, don't look back, you can never look back
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone
I never will forget those nights, I wonder if it was a dream
I see you walking real slow and you're smiling at everyone
After the boys of summer have gone
Remember how you made me crazy
After the boys of summer have gone
Out on the road today, I saw a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun

Songwriters: Michael W. Campbell, Don Henley
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
But baby, I'm gonna get you back, I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
You got your hair slicked back and your Wayfarers on, baby
Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun
I'm driving by your house though I know you're not home
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
You got your hair combed back and sunglasses on, baby
What did I know?
After the boys of summer have gone
And I don't understand what happened to our love
