You said promise you'll never forget
As you lit the last one of your cigarettes
You were wearing my coat I could see your breath in the smoke
I fell in love with a silhouette

Whenever I'm alone
That's when I see your ghost

You had eyes like stars they were blue as the sky
And we were two kids dancing in disco ball headlights
I would've loved you for the rest of my life
It should be you and me ten thousand summer nights

I kept my promise to never forget
But loving you's like loving a sunset
It should be top down, sun's out, no regrets
It should be you and me when the movie ends

And now my friends go home
And I wake up alone

You had eyes like stars they were blue as the sky
And we were two kids dancing in disco ball headlights
I would've loved you for the rest of my life
It should be you and me ten thousand summer nights

Forever driving with your hand in mine
Chasing that horizon from the county line
Just wishing I could see your face one more time
But for now, I'd stay up hoping that you find me in your next life

You had eyes like stars they were blue as the sky
And we were two kids dancing in disco ball headlights
I would've loved you for the rest of my life
It should be you and me ten thousand summer nights

And I still see you when I look at the sky
You are in every star, I watch you dancing in the moonlight
Whatever happened to the rest of our lives?
It should be you and me ten thousand summer nights
