However I'll all the time be in love with you in my recollections
Once we have been twenty-fiveI all the time consider you after I drink affogato
Cuz that summer time we might have them each afternoon
The cold and hot have been such an ideal mixture
Soften all collectively, bitter, candy and creamy, and all the time gone too quicklyHowever all the enjoyment we had and love we gave away again then
Nicely, it by no means went to waste
I’ll be an outdated lady with anyone else by my facet
However I'll all the time be in love with how you really liked me
Once we have been twenty-five
