Richard Marks captures the essence of summertime in our youth with “Endless Summer Nights” from 1988. Time did feel like slow motion back then. Now, it feels like it’s flying by as you get busy with work and raising a family. Life sure was much simpler back then and we took it all for granted. It’s not until many years later when we grow up and look back do we realize how wonderful those days were.
It was a magical time and we should look back with fondness. If you’re young now and in the midst of your endless summer nights, then I highly advise you to enjoy them while they last. The fall comes quickly with winter lurking in the distance.
Summer came and left without a warning
All at once I looked and you were gone
And now you’re looking back at me
Searching for a way that we can be like we were before
Now I’m back to what I knew before you
Somehow the city doesn’t look the same
Id give my life for one more night
Of having you here to hold me tight; oh, please
Take me there again
Oh, oh
Chorus
And I remember how you loved me
Time was all we had until the day we said goodbye
I remember every moment of those endless summer nights
I still recall the walks along the beaches
And the way your hair would glisten in the sun
Rising in the afternoon
Making love to you under the moon, oh
Do you remember all the nights we spent in silence
Every single breath you took was mine
We can have it all again
Say that you’ll be with me when the sun brings your heart to mine
Oh, oh
Repeat chorus
There’s only so much I can say
So please don’t run away from what we have together
Its only you and me tonight
So lets stay lost in flight
Oh, wont you please surrender
