Jessie Ware 16 Summers

Tekst piosenki

[Intro]
Mum
Yeah?
Are you jumping? Mummy

[Verse 1]
I see a family in the sun
Out in the garden having fun
But where am I?
You asked if I’d be gone for long
I closed my eyes and bit my tongue
And told a lie

[Pre-Chorus]
I know what it means if all my dreams
Are keeping me away from you
I just close my eyes and now my life’s in double time
Come hold these hands you’re slipping through

[Chorus]
Sixteen summers, is that all I’m gonna get?
It’s so easy to forget
We’re all just passing through
Sixteen summers to live and love without regret
So, darling, give me onе more chance
Can I spend еvery summer I’ve got left with you?

[Verse 2]
I see three children growing up I want the hourglass to stop
Or at least slow down
If you have children of your own, darling, don’t forget to show them
How to treasure the here and the now

[Pre-Chorus]
I know what it means, the falling leaves, the cooling breeze
What can I do?
I just close my eyes and now my life’s in double time
Come hold these hands you’re slipping through

[Chorus]
Sixteen summers, so many things I haven’t said
It’s so easy to forget
We’re all just passing through
Sixteen summers to live in love without regret
So, darling, give me one more chance
Can I spend every summer I’ve got left with you?

[Bridge]
Say you’ll want my love
When September comes
You crawled, you walked, but now your time’s to fly, oh
Don’t forget Julys
Though the years keep rolling by
I’ll cherish these nights you lie in my arms
[Chorus]
Sixteen summers, if that’s all I’m gonna get
Then I never will forget
We’re all just passing through
Sixteen summers to live and love without regret
So, darling, give me one more chance
Can I spend every summer I’ve got left with you?
