They met in Savannah she's the sweetest memory
She was a private school girl disapproving family
He never understood just what she saw in him
Working days at the Marina, the nights were left to dream
The winter fields begin to recover
Finally it's the promise of summer
Lights are shining round
and their guards are coming down
Love at first site, they were young and they were free
It started at a bonfire with friends down at the beach
Her skin shown so brown in that summer firelight
Spent that whole evening laughing as the morning shed the light
The winter fields begin to recover
Finally it's the promise of summer
Lights are shining round
and their guards are coming down
Across the world they run to each other
Finally it's the Promise of Summer
Rain after the draught
And they won't have to go without
It's the promise of summer
Not a day goes by when he doesn't think of her
Seems he like he spends his life trying to make things they were
I guess a trip down south might be the only cure
Across the Carolina border and go look around for her
The winter fields begin to recover
Finally it's the promise of summer
Lights are shining round
and their guards are coming down
Across the world they run to each other
Finally it's the Promise of Summer
Rain after the draught
And they won't have to go without
The promise of Summer
It's The promise of summer
The promise of summer
The winter fields begin to recover
Finally it's the promise of summer
Lights are shining round
and their guards are coming down
The promise of summer
Across the world they run to each other
Finally it's the Promise of Summer
Rain after the draught
And they won't have to go without
The promise of summer
