I remember the summer you saved me
And giving in to the love you gave me
When we were young and life was easy
Reminisce on the place we'd meet
We were all alone on those empty streets
There in a moment I felt so free
And I still remember how you looked into my eyes
I was yours and you were mine
Underneath the sun and sky
We were young with a promise to make it last
Through the night and for the rest of our lives
I thought for sure we'd stay the same
But the world kept turning, we moved away
From Costa Rica to the Sunshine State
And that's when things started changing
From being one to perfect strangers
We got lost in the hands of fate
But I still remember how you made me feel inside
I was yours and you were mine
Underneath the sun and sky
We were young with a promise to make it last
Through the night and for the rest of our lives
Still remember how you looked into my eyes
I was yours and you were mine
Underneath the sun and sky
We were young with a promise to make it last
Through the night and for the rest of our lives
I was yours and you were mine
Underneath the sun and sky
We were young with a promise to make it last
Through the night and for the rest of our lives
A través de la noche y por el resto de nuestras vidas
