Remember we danced to rock and roll music played with the lights real low?
It was a hot summer night out in the country at your uncle’s bungalow.
Remember we were pressed up cheek to cheek?
There wasn’t any reason for us to speak.
We were too wound up figuring out
The profound meaning of “Twist & Shout.”

Do you remember now? (Do you remember?)
Falling in love at the speed of sound
Do you remember how? (Do you remember?)
We fell in love at the speed of sound

Remember we went down to the lake?
You got so chilled you started to shake.
The water was cold and felt like knives.
So we climbed out and we ran for our lives.
And then you pressed your lips upon my face –
The salt of your skin, I still can taste
And I swore that I would never forget
The day, the minute, the moment we met

Do you remember now? (Do you remember?)
Falling in love at the speed of sound
Do you remember how? (Do you remember?)
We fell in love at the speed of sound

It seems so far away in a time so long ago
But when I hear your song played,
I swear I know every note

Remember we danced to rock and roll music on a blown out stereo?
Our friends were there. We were having a party at the backwoods bungalow.
You talked about boys and hating cigarettes.
I told you I would teach you how to two-step.
You said I didn’t quite learn it right.
I said, “That’s okay. You can teach me tonight.”

Do you remember now? (Do you remember?)
Falling in love at the speed of sound
Do you remember how? (Do you remember?)
We fell in love at the speed of sound

I miss you more than I missed anyone before
I miss you more than I missed anyone

I thought you were my summer girl, but now I wish we had longer
Stealing kisses down at Cape Cod – I think of you standing by the water
My heart’s inside a summer world.

I miss you more than I missed anyone before
I miss you more than I missed anyone

Now it’s time. I’m back in school, but my head is stuck in August.
The summer sun brought a simple joy.
Are you thinking of another boy now? I dream of you my summer girl.

I miss you more than I missed anyone before
I miss you more than I missed anyone

Summer Girl, you’re on my mind. I can’t stand us losing time.
The same stars shine on you tonight.
Cuz things go by that we can’t correct, but the thought of you I can’t forget.
I’m going to hold til I make you see the light

I miss you more than I missed anyone before
I miss you more than I missed anyone

I think about you summer girl. I feel my heart hitting pavement.
July breeze and your flowered dress – October is coming and I’m such a mess
I really miss my summer girl.
