Farewell my summer love, farewell. Girl I won't forget you. Farewell my summer love, farewell, ooh. I found my happiest days when you came to see your grandma in May. I bumped into you at the corner store; I told you that you sure looked good, now. Farewell my summer love, farewell. Girl I won't forget you. Farewell my summer love, farewell, ooh. Your grandma's house was next to mine, we were together most of the time. But summer's gotten away from us; time's moving too fast for us. Bye, bye, don't turn around, 'cause you might see me cry. Farewell my summer love, farewell. Girl I won't forget you. Farewell my summer love, farewell, ooh. When you return to your hometown, And discuss your trip, Will I be the guy that you put down, Or someone that you won't forget, no? Farewell my summer love, farewell. Girl I won't forget you. Farewell my summer love, farewell, ooh. I'll never forget you, And maybe next year When you're out of school You'll return, but until you do, baby; Farewell my summer love, farewell. Girl I won't forget you. Farewell my summer love, farewell, ooh. Ooh, farewell, farewell. Ooh, farewell, farewell. If you remember my name, drop a line sometime. Farewell my summer love, farewell. Girl I won't forget you. Farewell my summer love, farewell, ooh.
