Lyrics

July and August, August and July
It's hard to face the terrible truth
After living such a beautiful lie
What am I doing here?
Just as if nothing's wrong
Like everything's just fine
Hearing you say, you're still mine
Wishing it were true
Wishing it, hoping it
When will I learn?
What am I doing here?
When I know I'll get hurt
How can I care so much?
Holding my breath when we touch
Wanting to be loved
Wanting it, needing it
When will I learn?
As we walked on the sand
Just the touch of your hand
Made the world disappear
I still can feel you holding me
With our backs to the sea
We could face the truth
Unafraid, face the truth
Summer is gone
My darling, let me go
Wash away all our love
Do what my tears can't do
For every girl, there's one man
And for me, it's you
What am I doing here?
When will I learn?
Written by: Burt Bacharach, Hal David
