Lovers in July Lyrics

It was the second week of June

The daisies finally in bloom

The air was warm the breeze was sweet

On the day that we did meet

And I fell first into your eyes

And then your smile warm and kind

Talk was easy I didn't try

I knew it then that you were mine

And the days were long

Felt like the world could do us no wrong

We knew it from the start that we'd have to part

August was calling but we were falling

To Spanish Steps and fallen leaves

Sunsets on Sunrise Beach

Wildflowers were blooming pure and sweet

And when you held me in your arms

I forgot those winter storms

Summer days would last infinitely

But something in your eyes made me realize

That time was never on our side

And even if we'd tried we couldn't stop the tide

Cause lovers in July

Are bound to say goodbye

I think I met you in a dream

Summer daze drifting through reality and

We knew the world would never sleep

We lay awake to build the world we want to see

If we'd only had time

Over mountains high we would climb

We knew there'd be a day when I'd drive away

Over them hills but we were longing still

For jazz music in the streets

Long drives through tall trees

Stolen evenings together we would sleep

And as the summer turned to fall

I could hear the winter call

And I tried to hold on to it all

You said there's magic to not know

What the future holds

But from the start we knew we'd have to go

And I thought that I was wise but I told myself a lie

That lovers in July

Are bound to say goodbye

Now every sunny day

I wish that we had stayed

The world it spins in place

It spun us out on separate ways

But the time we had together wasn't just about the weather

I'll hold on to that summer for forever

The Spanish Steps and fallen leaves

Sunsets on Sunrise Beach

Wildflowers will die and bloom and be

And though the time may fly

It means we're still alive

As lovers in July

We had to say goodbye
