Nobody on the road 

Nobody on the beach 

I feel it in the air 

The summer's out of reach 

Empty lake, empty streets 

The sun goes down alone 

I'm drivin' by your house 

Though I know you're not at home 

But I can see you 

Your brown skin shinin' in the sun 

You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby 

And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 

After the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights 

I wonder if it was a dream 

Remember how you made me crazy? 

Remember how I made you scream 

Now I don't understand what happened to our love 

But babe, I'm gonna get you back 

I'm gonna show you what I'm made of 

I can see you 

Your brown skin shinin' in the sun 

I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone 

I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 

After the boys of summer have gone 

Out on the road today, I saw a deadhead sticker on a cadillac 

A little voice inside my head said, "don't look back. you can never look back." 

I thought I knew what love was - what did I know? 

Those days are gone forever 

I should just let them go but- 

Photos 

I can see you 

Your brown skin shinin' in the sun 

You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby 

And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 

After the boys of summer have gone 

I can see you 

Your brown skin shinin' in the sun 

You got that hair slicked back and those wayfarers on, baby 

I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 

After the boys of summer have gone
