When I close my eyes she is sitting there
Deep blue Denim, Sunkist hair
Feet dangling from the dock, calling me by name
Well, before we knew it we was jumping in
Way deeper than we've ever been
Then making our way to sweet spot under the shade
Every time I go down on the river
And watch those ripples wash away
I can't help but curse September for stealing her away
The memories just don't fade like those long summer days, oh yeah
Yeah, we were laying the low, the moon was getting high
Yankee Doodle Dandy and American Pie
I was stoking the fire and the heat was coming on strong
Yeah, we were popping tops and telling tales
Strumming my guitar, Lord it never fails
We were there all night but it didn't take long
Every time I go down on the river
And watch those ripples wash away
I can't help but curse September for stealing her away
'Cause the memories just don't fade like those long summer days
I can't rewind the days I know
But if I could that's where I'd go
Every time I go down on the river
And watch those ripples wash away
I can't help but curse September for stealing her away
The memories just don't fade like those long summer days
Like those long, long summer days
Yeah, we were laying low the moon was getting high
Long, long summer days
