Lyrics

Male: [spoken]
I've never been as happy as I was that morning
That morning we walked along the beach
A little like this one
It was a special Autumn
It was that rare kind of Autumn that you only find in North America
We call it Indian Summer
But it was quite simply our summer
And the image of you in your long dress was like a beautiful water colouring
And I remember very well what you told me that morning
A year ago
A century ago

When this is just a memory
Will you still be loving me
When the summer is gone
All my life the taste of you will fill my life
Even when the summer is gone

Male: [spoken]
Today I'm far away

But it is, is if I was there now
I think of you
Where are you
What are you doing
Do I still exist for you
I'm like a wave drawn by the moon
And sometimes I slip back like a wave
And like a wave I lay down on the sand
And I remember
I remember the high tides
The naked happiness
And the sun shining on the sea
An eternity ago
A century ago
Last summer

Female:
Think of me
When this is just a memory
Will you still be loving me
When the summer is gone
All my life the taste of you will fill my life
Even when the summer is gone

Na, na, na, na, na,
Na, na, na, na, na, an
