[Intro: Zayn]
Yeah, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1: Zayn & Harry]
Can't believe you're packing your bags
Trying so hard not to cry
Had the best time and now it's the worst time
But we have to say goodbye
Don't promise that you're gonna write, don't promise that you'll call
Just promise that you won't forget we had it all

[Chorus: Niall & Niall and Zayn]
'Cause you were mine for the summer, now we know it's nearly over
Feels like snow in September but I always will remember
You were my summer love
You always will be my summer love

[Verse 2: Louis & Liam]
Wish that we could be alone now
If we could find some place to hide
Make the last time just like the first time
Push a button and rewind
Don't say the word that's on your lips, don't look at me that way
Just promise you'll remember when the sky is grey

[Chorus: Niall and Zayn]
'Cause you were mine for the summer, now we know it's nearly over
Feels like snow in September but I always will remember
You were my summer love
You always will be my summer love

[Bridge: Zayn]
So please don't make this any harder, we can't take this any farther
And I know there's nothing that I wanna change, change

[Chorus: Niall & All & Louis]
'Cause you were mine for the summer, now we know it's nearly over
Feels like snow in September but I always will remember
You were my summer love (Summer love)
You always will be my summer love (Summer love)
You always will be my summer love
You always will be my summer love

One Direction was an English-Irish pop band based in London, consisting of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously Zayn Malik. They signed with Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Records after being formed and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Check out their journey on the competition here.

Propelled to international success by the power of social media, their two albums Up All Night and Take Me Home, released in 2011 and 2012 respectively, broke several records, topped the charts of most major markets, and generated hit singles, including “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Live While We’re Young.”

Their third album, Midnight Memories, introduced a maturing sound. Singles including “Best Song Ever” and “Story of My Life” became smash hits. The music video for “Best Song Ever” even broke the one-day Vevo record, racking up 10.9 million views in 24 hours.
