The challenge is in keeping this alive

Feelings felt by moonlight on that warm July night

The feel of her heartbeat matching crashing of the waves

Echoing along the beach, the feeling you hope remains

The challenge is in keeping this alive

Feelings shared in sunlight as the embers still ignite

The sound of her laughter bringing hope to your ears

The promise of the future destroying all your fears

Haven't you felt this way before?

Weren't you yearning for the shore?

For you knew only the summer air could bring these kinds of nights

Nights you spend surrendering yourself into her light

The challenge is in keeping this alive

Feelings shared by firelight on that cool July night

Fingers tracing arms beneath blankets in the sand

Fingers interlacing as her smile does what her smile can

Haven't you felt this way before?

Weren't you yearning for the shore?

For you knew only the summer air could bring these kinds of nights

Nights you spend surrendering yourself into her light

Take up the challenge, and dare to risk it all

What if what you feel right now is still there in the fall?

The challenge then is living, life a different way

Living life in love with her, forever now to stay

Haven't you felt this way before?

Weren't you yearning for the shore?

For you knew only the summer air would bring these kinds of nights

Nights you spent surrendering yourself into her light
