I know I was a mistake, and I understand Our love was fleeting, like grains of sand We had our moments, under the pale moonlight But I knew from the start We were bound to fight I felt the warmth of your touch, the softness of your kiss But deep down I knew, it wouldn't end in bliss So I'll let you go with a tender smile Our love was sweet, but only for a while No need to dwell on what we can't sustain We were a brief, beautiful summer rain I remember your laugh, echoing in the night The way we held each other, felt so right But passion's flame can't burn too bright And I knew it would fade out of sight We danced in shadows, whispered in the dark But I knew the end was written from the start So I'll let you go with a tender smile Our love was sweet, but only for a while No need to dwell on what we can't sustain We were a brief, beautiful summer rain Sometimes love is just a fleeting song A melody that plays then moves along I'll cherish the memories, hold them near But now it's time to face the truth, my dear So I'll let you go with a tender smile Our love was sweet, but only for a while No need to dwell on what we can't sustain We were a brief, beautiful summer rain No regrets, just a love that had to wane You were my beautiful summer rain
