[Verse 1: Robbie Williams]
Close your eyes so you don't fear them
They don't need to see you cry
I can't promise I will heal you
But if you want to I will try
[Pre-Chorus: Robbie Williams]
I'll sing this summer serenade
The past is done
We've been betrayed
It's true
Someone said the truth will out
I believe without a doubt, in you
[Chorus: Robbie Williams]
You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity...
For eternity
[Verse 2: Robbie Williams]
Yesterday when you were walking
We talked about your mum and dad
What they did that made you happy
What they did that made you sad
[Pre-Chorus: Robbie Williams]
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
[Chorus: Robbie Williams]
You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity
For eternity
For eternity
[Pre-Chorus: Robbie Williams]
I'll sing this summer serenade
The past is done
We've been betrayed
It's true
Youth is wasted on the young
Before you know it's come and gone, too soon
[Chorus: Robbie Williams]
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
For eternity
For eternity
Close your eyes so you don't fear them
They don't need to see you cry
I can't promise I will heal you
But if you want to I will try
[Pre-Chorus: Robbie Williams]
I'll sing this summer serenade
The past is done
We've been betrayed
It's true
Someone said the truth will out
I believe without a doubt, in you
[Chorus: Robbie Williams]
You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity...
For eternity
[Verse 2: Robbie Williams]
Yesterday when you were walking
We talked about your mum and dad
What they did that made you happy
What they did that made you sad
[Pre-Chorus: Robbie Williams]
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
[Chorus: Robbie Williams]
You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity
For eternity
For eternity
[Pre-Chorus: Robbie Williams]
I'll sing this summer serenade
The past is done
We've been betrayed
It's true
Youth is wasted on the young
Before you know it's come and gone, too soon
[Chorus: Robbie Williams]
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
For eternity
For eternity
