Twinkling Lights

There was a place in Maine, not that long ago Where we would hide away for several months or so Tucked beneath the pines and under summer skies A bunch of twenty somethings running barefoot every night And some of us were new and some had been for years And a few of us found love, all of us had fears But every single night, we'd gather by the fire And sing away the night And oh, when the fire burns out and the embers all die We still have all our stories, like stars in the sky And we will always remember how we lit up the night Oh, summers by the lake Like a million twinkling lights And the days were only measured by the sun's rise and fall And we spent our nights out searching for the meaning of it all Falling deep in love, sneaking out at night Somehow it just felt right And oh, when the fire burns out and the embers all die We still have all our stories, like stars in the sky And we will always remember how we lit up the night Oh, summers by the lake Like a million twinkling lights Twinkling lights Well I never saw it coming, but now I'll always know That summer is more than freedom and love will come and go We may not have it now, but we had it then We will never be the same, no matter how it ends Because when we've all grown old, living far away On our darkest days, we will remember Maine Cause there's something about a fire and a couple rounds of beer And we'll tell 'em all our dreams, love for all to hear And oh, when the fire burned out and the embers all died We still had all our stories, like stars in the sky And we will always remember how we lit up the night Oh, summers by the lake Like a million twinkling lights Twinkling lights (and when the fire burned out and the embers all died) Twinkling lights (we still had all our stories, like stars in the sky) Twinkling lights (and we will always remember how we lit up the night) Twinkling lights (oh, summer's by the lake, like a million-) Twinkling lights
