i say hello to the summertime 

and you may think i'm doing fine 

but i don't know 

it used to always make me laugh 

but now i'll sign an autograph 

to the way things used to be 



oh 

do you hear my cry 

nostalgia nostalgia 

hold my hand cause i've got a ways to go 

oh 



but i can't stand to go on like this so long 

nostalgia 

now i can plainly see 

the way the conflict used to be neverending 

i always thought that in this case 

to keep a smile on my face though that's not how i feel 



oh 

do you hear my cry 

nostalgia nostalgia 

don't let me down 

I've always faced the truth 

oh 



now why can't i just ignore what i've found 

nostalgia 

i often ride the choppy waves of change 

but the reward i know is much more great 

don't want to give up i cannot give in 

i must maintain my faithfulness 

i've seen the darkness and it's consuming 

i cannot bring him back to then 



i must maintain my faithfulness
