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
