You were sitting in a cafe
At a table by the Jukebox
Making cups of coffee last for years
You never heard the fanfare
Never saw the sunshine smiling
And then the summer slipped in unnoticed from beneath your tears

On the big base rhythm
Shook the room, shook your little heart
And all the talk that whistled through your ears
You were minding your own business
But you were everybody else's
And then the summer slipped in unnoticed from beneath your tears

Time flew by and you moved on
Shop street days are long since gone
All of the laughter and all of the tears
I still see your likeness through the years

All the girls around you
Were captured by your presence
Elusive features admired and revered
And deep in your eyes I recognised
Exhilarating Sadness

And then the summer slipped out unnoticed from beneath your tears
And then the summer slipped out unnoticed from beneath
And then the summer slipped out unnoticed from beneath
And then the summer slipped out unnoticed from beneath your tears
