They're boarding up this water town

Ain't nobody hanging 'round

Another gray september day

Was I crazy to think she'd stay.

If that sun would've just hung up in that sky just a little bit yeah just a little bit longer

If those blue water waves could've stayed at her feet on the beach 'stead of going out with the tide

If that wind was a friend it'd still be blowing in like a warm southern whisper on her

She might have stayed forever and never ever left these arms if only I

Had a little more summertime.

I brace myself against the cold

Let her memory take hold

Stirring that old fire up

As if I don't miss her enough.

If that sun would've just hung up in that sky just a little bit yeah just a little bit longer

If those blue water waves could've stayed at her feet on the beach 'stead of going out with the tide

If that wind was a friend it'd still be blowing in like a warm southern whisper on her

She might have stayed forever and never ever left these arms if only I

Had a little more summertime.

Just a little more summertime.

If that sun would've just hung up in that sky just a little bit yeah just a little bit longer

She might have stayed forever and never ever left these arms if only I

Had a little more summertime.
