The sun was high but my spirits low
Days dragged on time moved slow
Plans fell through dreams took flight
In the heat of summer's night
Oh bad summer you came and went
Left me wondering where the good times went
With every sunset a sigh of relief
Hoping next year brings some peace
Friends were distant miles apart
Lonely nights with a heavy heart
Rainy days and stormy skies
Tears fell down from my eyes
Oh bad summer you came and went
Left me wondering where the good times went
With every sunset a sigh of relief
Hoping next year brings some peace
Bonfires burned but the warmth was gone
Memories faded like a forgotten song
As the leaves turn I say goodbye
To a summer that made me cry
Oh bad summer you came and went
Left me wondering where the good times went
With every sunset a sigh of relief
Hoping next year brings some peace
So here's to autumn a fresh new start
Healing the wounds of a broken heart
With hope and love I'll find my way
And leave behind that bad summer day
