[Verse 1: Mutya]
Got your photo by my tear-stained pillow
Reminding me of good times
I keep the letter you wrote and posted
Running over my mind
[Pre-Chorus: Keisha]
Miss the feeling of the warm sun
Shining bright like the good memories
When it leaves me in the morning
What we were, what we stood for
Forever will stay with me
[Chorus: All]
We were young and living it crazy
Burning the candle bright, all night
Just dancing, baby no sleeping
Summer of '99
We lived the story from our hearts
We were the movement of our race
All this well-meaning, suddenly leaving
Summer of 1999
[Verse 2: Keisha]
I saw you by the old park entrance
Thought we could turn back time
When we believed that we were going places
Having the time of our lives
[Pre-Chorus: Mutya]
Miss the feeling of the warm sun
Shining bright like the good memories
When it leaves me in the morning
What we were, what we stood for
Forever will stay with me
[Chorus: All]
We were young and living it crazy
Burning the candle bright, all night
Just dancing, baby no sleeping
Summer of '99
We lived the story from our hearts
We were the movement of our race
All this well-meaning, suddenly leaving
Summer of 1999
[Post-Chorus: All]
Summer (Summertime)
Summer (Summer)
Summer of '99
Summer (Summertime)
Summer (Summer)
Summer of 1999
[Bridge: Siobhan]
The past, hold fast, memories
Same time, same place, you and me
No matter how longer, it'll never be over
I'll always wonder if we could have lived forever
[Chorus: All]
We were young and living it crazy
We were young and living it crazy
Burning the candle bright, all night
Just dancing, baby no sleeping
Summer of '99
We lived the story from our hearts
We were the movement of our race
All this well-meaning, suddenly leaving
Summer of 1999
[Post-Chorus: All]
Summer (Summertime)
Summer (Summer)
Summer of '99
Summer (Summertime)
Summer (Summer)
Summer of 1999
[Outro: All]
We lived the story from our hearts
We were the movement of our race
All this well-meaning, suddenly leaving
Summer of 1999
Summer (Summertime)
Summer (Summer)
