Pretenders, The - When Will I See You? Lyrics






When the days
are getting longer
and the people
come out on the streets at night
I'll be among
the starry eyes
I'll be among
the wishful sighs
I'll be among
the fools, forever fantasizing

When will I see you?
summertime would be perfect
When will I see you?
could be a long summertime
When will I see you?
endless nights of love could be ours
When will I see you?

When the nights
are getting warmer
and the dawn comes in on the wings of a song
I'll be among
the hopeful few
I'll be among
the morning dew
I'll be among
everything new

When will I see you?
summertime would be perfect
When will I see you?
there'll be no-one around
When will I see you?
endless nights of love could be ours
When will I see you?

Demand the impossible!
everyone will be free
We'll walk down the Avenue
Openly - openly

When the days
are getting longer
and the people
come out on the streets at night
I'll be the one
who knows your name
I'll be the one
who plays the game
I'll be the one
again and again and again
again and again and again, asking

When will I see you?
summertime would be just perfect
When will I see you?
could be a long summertime
When will I see you?
endless nights of love could be ours
When will I see you?

Demand the impossible!
Everyone will be free

    When the days are getting longer
    And the people come out on the streets at night
    I'll be among the starry eyes
    I'll be among the wishful side
    I'll be among the fools forever fantasizing
    Summertime would be perfect
    (When will I see you?)
    It'll be a long summertime
    Endless nights of love could be us
    (When will I see you?)
    When the nights are getting warmer
    And the dawn comes in on the wings of the song
    I'll be among the hopeful few
    I'll be among the morning dew
    I'll be among everything new
    Summertime would be perfect
    (When will I see you?)
    There'll be no one around
    Endless nights of love could be us
    (When will I see you?)
    Too mend the impossible, everyone will be free
    We'll walk down the avenue opening, opening
    When the days are getting longer
    The people come out on the streets at night
    I'll be the one who knows your name
    I'll be the one who plays the game
    I'll be the one, again and again and again
    Again and again and again
    Summertime would be just perfect
    (When will I see you?)
    Be a long summertime
    (When will I see you?)
    Endless night of love could be us
    (When will I see you?)
    Too mend the impossible, everyone will be free
    Too mend the impossible, everyone will be free

    Going to see them April 1rst in Boston so excited to see them in concert getting excited.

  12. J.... M....

    Reminds me of Del Amitri.

  13. G.... Y....

    She has an almost perfect classical roman-greek facial structure.

    G.... Y....

    Hmmm .....maybe more of an Anglo Saxon structure?

  14. I.... B....

    la voz es unica...

  15. G.... P....

    Bellissim Pezzo, molto espressivo.

    heared and bought this song on an illegal cassette in 1992 for 30 bath at the evening market in Hua Hin in Thailand on a warm hot summernight.Great memories and a great melancholic song.Thanks Chrissy and Johnny

  17. G.... P....

    Lovely song 👍👍👍

  18. D.... L....

    No words for it very close to me song. She writes the beautiful songs.

    I love just about everything by Chrissie Hynde. But this is one of my favorites. I remember one night when I played this song over and over like 50 times. Until my friends started beating me with their fists and demanding I play a different record. Everybody's a critic. I think it could have been a hit. But it was a little too long. It wouldn't fit on a 45. They tried to put it on a 47 but Casey Kasem said no go. Its co-written by the guitarist from the Smiths.

    a.... ....

    Johnny Marr. He jumped at the chance to tour with the band. Dude knew his great rock and roll.

    Hopeless Romantics Always Play These Songs 50 Times There In Tune With The Heats Of Billions Of Other Hopeless Romantics :-)

  20. j.... L....

    rediscovered this song a little and she reminds me of long chats he had with my father, where he taught me many things about life. Excellent memory

  21. F.... S....

    Chrissie Hynde Linda.

  22. F.... S....

    Pretty. Música linda.

  23. s.... ....

    Great sound Chrissie!!!

  24. a.... ....

    Johnny Fuckin Marr!

  25. a.... ....

    This is one of my all-time favorite Pretenders songs. Which is saying something because i love just about every Pretenders song. Thanks for posting this one. I haven't heard it since 1994 when I packed all my albums away (=sigh=). I always had a fantasy of using this song for the soundtrack if my novel "JOURNEY THROUGH THE TENDERLOIN: A Pornographic Love Story" ever got turned into a movie. What a killer for the closing credits.

  26. R.... L....

    Oh Chrissy, your soul is a thing of beauty. Love you bebe,

  27. M.... ....

    LOVE!!!!

    @mapple432 Ironic.

  29. A.... B....

    nobody can do it like Chrissie

  30. F.... ....

    A weird album. Lots of misc. musicians. It really wasn't Pretenders. Just Chrissie. But it's always been mostly Chrissie, hasn't it?

  31. m.... ....

    One of the most beautiful CH songs...."demand the impossible, everyone will be free, we'll walk down the avenue openly..openly!.." Take that christian right wingers.....

  32. C.... ....
