Close your eyes so you don't feel them
They don't need to see you cry
I can't promise I can heal you
But if you want to I will try
I sing this sober serenade 
The past is done we've been betrayed 
Its true
Someone said the true will come out 
I believe without a doubt in you

You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need 
And I hope you find your freedom 
For eternity
For eternity

Yesterday when you were walking 
We were talking about your mum and dad 
What they did that made you happy
And what they did that made you sad 
We sat and watched the sun go down 
Picked a star before we lost the moon
Youth is wasted on the young
Before you know it's come and gone too soon

You were there for summer dreaming
And you give me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom 
For eternity 
For eternity

I sing this somber serenade 
The past is done we've been betrayed 
Its true
Youth is wasted on the young
Before you know its come and gone to soon

You were there for summer dreaming
And you are a friend indeed
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity
You were there for summer dreaming
And you are a friend indeed
And I know you'll find your freedom 
eventually
