 Opening chords

Took a sad song of one sweet evening

 I smiled and quickly turned away

It's not easy singing sad songs

 But still the easiest way I have to say

So when you look into the sun

And see the things we haven’t done

Oh was it better then to run

Than to spend the summer crying

 Now summer cannot come anyway

I had waited for time to change her

 The only change that came was over me

She pretended not to want love

 I hope she was only fooling me

So when you look into the sun

Look for the pleasures nearly won

Or was it better then to run

Than to spend the summer singing

 And summer could have come in a day

So if you hear my sad song singing

Remember who and what you nearly had.

Its not easy singing sad songs

When you can sing the song to make me glad.

So when you look into the sun

And see the words you could have sung:

Its not too late, only begun,

We can still make summer.

Yes, summer always comes anyway.
