I found a pile of Polaroids

In the crates of a record shop
They were sexy sexy lookin' back
From a night that time forgot

Boy, he was something debonaire
In 1979

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
Growin' older just the same
All them mem'ries 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 (x3)

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
Growin' older just the same
All them mem'ries 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 (x3)

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 (x8)
