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
selectopaque answered Thursday August 12 2004, 2:00 am: boys of summer is the new version, but did you know that that The Ataris did not actually write this song? There is an earlier version, that almost sounds identical. When I first heard the boys of summer, I was brought back to my childhood of when my mother used to listen to the original version of this song. I believe that druid got it right.

"I can see you,your brown skin shinin in the sun
You got your hair pulled back and your sunglasses on
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong,
after the boys of summer have gone". Hope I helped!;) [ ShOrTnSwEeT42094's advice column | Ask ShOrTnSwEeT42094 A Question ]

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it til my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far
Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
Standin' on your Mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your Mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
