In the summertime I don't know if the stars were aligned We stumbled onto something we would like And I'm afraid I lost the words tonight And in your summer dress I was holding you But you were holding less It's not the words it's the ones you stress "I'll love you is I love you just don't love me less." And once in a while I know our hearts beat out of time And once in a while I know they'll fall back in line And in the summertime I don't know if the stars were aligned We stumbled onto something we would like I'm afraid I lost the words tonight And when we're middle-aged You'll tell me I loved you like a renegade And how I say the things that make you sway And mostly told you you did the same Once in a while I know our hearts beat out of time And once in a while I know they'll fall back in line Our love is strong Our love is strong Our love is strong While my heart's still pumping blood
