Waitin' on Sunshine

I've been waitin' on summertime
Ever since I saw those Fourth of July fireworks in her eyes,
And she asked me to dance
Right there in the Panama sand
I think it's crazy how a stranger
Can give you the feelin' like you've known them forever,
And you don't want 'em leavin'
And you try to pretend
Maybe one day you'll see 'em again

She's another long lost lover
That stole my heart one week last summer
When we closed our eyes, and touched lips for the first time
Before I left I went back to the sound of salt water
Left words in the sand where I first saw her, sayin' one more goodbye
Now I'm home and it's wintertime
Just waitin' on sunshine, oooh, oooh, oooh
Yeah, waitin' on sunshine

Well ain't it funny how a memory
Can last forever and keep you warm in the coldest weather
When you're down and out
Yeah, reach in and pull you out
And play you an old song
With a simple rhyme, that can take you back to a place and time
Like when she found me
Oh now she's just a memory

She's another long lost lover
That stole my heart one week last summer
When we closed our eyes and touched lips for the first time
Before I left I went back to the sound of salt water
Left words in the sand where I first saw her, sayin' one more goodbye
Now I'm home and it's wintertime
Just waitin' on sunshine

I've had you on my mind, on my mind
Been waitin' for a long, long time, a long time
Now here we stand
Barefoot in the sand, takin' a chance
Are you ready to dance

With another long lost lover
That stole your heart one week last summer
When we closed our eyes and touched lips for the first time
Ain't it good to be back to the sound of salt water
You're here in the sand where I first saw you, sayin' no more goodbyes
We'll head home when it's wintertime
And I'll be wakin' up to sunshine, oooh, oooh, oooh
Wakin' up to sunshine
Yeah, I'm holdin' on to sunshine
