有時她會破例給我們便宜

在夏日里野餐
fifty cents would buy us popcorn for two
不睡到中午不起床
'cause booby's girl she worked there
儘管如今鮑比已不在身旁
and sometimes she'd break the rules
我仍然會聽到他的笑聲

迴響在六月

有時我坐著，我思索著
wouldn'twake up 'till noon
我回憶著
and even though bobby's gone now
我回想起所有美好歲月
i can still hear him laugh
我們的人生都曾有過
in the middle of june
有時我難以忘懷
sometimes i sit, i wonder
那些日子有多麼美好
i reminisce
在我們過往的人生里
i think of all the good times
that we had in our lives

sometimes i can't get over
how wonderful those days were
back in our lies
