Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see a family in the sun
Out in the garden having fun
But where am I?
You asked if I’d be gone for long
I closed my eyes and bit my tongue
And told a lie
[PreChorus]
I know what it means
If all my dreams are keeping me away from you
I just close my eyes
And now my life’s in double time
Come hold these hands, you're slipping through
[Chorus]
16 summers
Is that all I’m gonna get?
It’s so easy to forget
We’re all just passing through
16 summers
To live and love without regret
So, darling, give me one more chance
Can I spend
Every summer I've got left with you?
[Verse 2]
I see three children growing up
I want the hourglass to stop
Or at least slow down?
If you have children of your own
Darling, don't forget to show them
How to treasure the here and the now
[PreChorus]
I know what it means
The falling leaves, the cooling breeze
What can I do?
I just close my eyes
And now my life’s in double time
Come hold these hands, you're slipping through
[Chorus]
16 summers
So many things I haven’t said
It’s so easy to forget
We’re all just passing through
16 summers
To live and love without regret
So, darling, give me one more chance
Can I spend
Every summer I've got left with you?
[Bridge]
Say you’ll want my love
When September comes
You crawled, you walked, but now your time's to fly
Oh, don't forget Julys
Though the years keep rolling by
I’ll cherish these nights you lie in my arms
[Chorus]
16 summers
If that’s all I’m gonna get
Then I never will forget
We’re all just passing through
16 summers
To live and love without regret
So, darling, give me one more chance
Can I spend
Every summer I've got left with you?
