You know, I've never been as happy as I was that morning

We were walking along the beach a little like this one

It was that rare kind of autumn day that you only find in North America

Over there, they call it Indian summer but it was just "our summer"

And I can see you now in your long dress

Looking like a beautiful watercolor

And I can remember what I told you that morning

A year ago, a thousand years ago



Think of me when this is just a memory

Will you still be loving me when this summer is gone ?

All my life, the taste of you will fill my life

Even when this summer is gone



Today, I'm far away from that autumn morning

But it's almost as if I was there. I'm thinking of you

Where are you ? What are you doing ? Do I still exist for you ?

I'm like a wave drawn by the moon

Slipping back on the sand, remembering the high tides

Remembering the happiness and the sun shining over the sea

The thousand years ago or was it just last year



Think of me when this is just a memory

Will you still be loving me when this summer is gone ?

All my life, the taste of you will fill my life

Even when this summer is gone
