Nothin' Like The Summer

A firefly glowin' on my left hand

Used to pretend it was a weddin' band

A tall cool glass of Mama's lemonade

Sold from a stand that me and my sister made

We'd count our quarters in the shade

Underneath a tree

The boys in the clubhouse are right next door

Playin' cops and robbers and the Civil War

We'd all meet up at the swimmin' hole

With marshmellow sticks and our homemade fishin' poles

And the stars would guide us home

Oh, those sweet memories

Chorus

(Well) I love those summer days

Driftin' on by like a slow parade

And everything feels fine in the warm sunshine

When your world unwinds

And 'ya kick back in your flip-flops

And 'ya don't care about the tick-tock

And the world is full of music, dreams, and lovers

There ain't nothin' like the summer

(I love those summer days)

There ain't nothin' like the summer

(I love those summer days)

(I love those summer days)

A blue-eyed boy with the baseball tan

On the ferris wheel he takes my hand

Long, slow dance underneath the moon

Prayin' so hard that the night won't end too soon

He whispers, 'I love you'

And I melt into his arms

(Repeat Chorus)

The sun goes down, and the barbecue's lit

The radio's playin' that summer hit

We all wish these days would last forever

(Repeat Chorus)
