I found a pile of polaroids

In the crates of a record shop

They were sexy, sexy looking back

From a night that time forgot.

Boy he was something debonair in 1979

And she had farrah fawcett hair

Carafes of blood red wine.

In the summertime, in the summertime.

Oh don't you wonder when the light begins to fade?

And the clock just makes the colors turn to grey

Forever younger growing older just the same

All the memories that we make will never change

We'll stay drunk, we'll stay tan, let the love remain

And I swear that I'll always paint you.

Golden days, golden days

Golden days, golden days.

I bet they met some diplomats on bianca jagger's new yacht

With their caviar and dead cigars

The air was sauna hot

I bet they never even thought about

The glitter dancing on the skin

The decades might've washed it out

As the flashes popped like pins.

In the summertime, in the summertime.

Oh don't you wonder when the light begins to fade?

And the clock just makes the colors turn to grey

Forever younger growing older just the same

All the memories that we make will never change

We'll stay drunk, we'll stay tan, let the love remain

And I swear that I'll always paint you.

Golden days, golden days

Golden days, golden days.

Time can never break your heart

But it'll take the pain away

Right now our future's certain

I won't let it fade away.

Golden days, golden days

Golden days, golden days.

Golden days, golden days

Golden days, golden days.
