And as I watched my life passing by
There's one thing that saves my youth, summer days summer nights in Beirut
I'm cheating death with every puff I take
Just to forget that I'm only great
There's one thing that saves my youth summer days, summer nights in Beirut.
It was a clear summer day in '72
Beirut was the place to do
Before the war it was best,
They all rushed down from the west
When violence was nowhere round
My old man was the coolest in town
I'm so glad that he's still around
When he sits me down to say
Summer days, summer nights in Beirut [x4]
I work my ass off every day and night.
And as I watched my life passing by
There's one thing that saves my youth, summer days summer nights in Beirut
I'm cheating death with every puff I take
Just to forget that I'm only great
There's one thing that saves my youth summer days, summer nights in Beirut.
Try to live and struggle our only hope
We were younger, played beside the house
And touched the coal
I know now everyone must fail, before they win
Son remember how I used to hold you in the wind
And ever since than I work my ass off every day and night.
And as I watch my life passing by
There's one thing that saves my youth, summer days summer nights in Beirut
I'm cheating death with every puff I take
Just to forget that I'm only great
There's one thing that saves my youth summer days, summer nights in Beirut
Summer days, summer nights in Beirut [x4]
I work my ass off every day and night. And as I watched my life passing by There's one thing that saves my youth, summer days summer nights in Beirut I'm cheating death with every puff I take Just to forget that I'm only great There's one thing that saves my youth summer days, summer nights in Beirut. It was a clear summer day in '72 Beirut was the place to do Before the war it was best, They all rushed down from the west When violence was nowhere round My old man was the coolest in town I'm so glad that he's still around When he sits me down to say Summer days, summer nights in Beirut [x4] I work my ass off every day and night.
