(When summer fades away)

The heat is gone from the grains of sand

While time seems to slip right through our hands

We walk together and your hand finds mine

And we’re leaving summer behind

(chorus)

As the days grow short and sweet

Our connected hearts begin to beat

New love blooms in autumn’s light

Hold on tight

Yeah, let’s hold on tight

(verse)

Goodbye to the sun’s fierce glow

Reminding all that we should know

Together in the falling rain

It will wash away the stinging pain

Old loves that broke our hearts

Can no longer tear us apart

(chorus)

As the days grow short and sweet

Our collective hearts begin to beat

New love blooms in autumn light

Hold on tight

Yeah, let’s hold on tight

(outro)

Goodbye to the sun’s fierce glow

Say hello to what we know

Summer ends today

But our love stays anyway

I turned to Lerner in the booth with the sound engineer, seeing their bright smile as the chords faded. “That was amazing, guys.”
