Lyrics: I can see you Your brown skin shining in the sun I see you walking real slow and Smiling at everyone I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone https://genius.com/Don-henley-the-boys-of-summer-lyrics
Additional prompt: I've selected 3 of my favorite covers for this song because I'm excited to see what people do with it! There are a lot of potential tensions to explore here. Swapping the vocalist from male to female changes the gender dynamics a lot, and I'd love to see a queer reading of Bree Sharp & Daddy Issues' covers: tell me about a female vocalist competing with the vacationing boys for the object of her affection. There's also the class tension that's deeply embedded in this song (townie vocalist vs vacationing boys with cadillacs) that's ripe for exploration, with any of covers.

Lyrics:
I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
I see you walking real slow and
Smiling at everyone
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
