Nothin' Like the Summer

A firefly glowing on my left hand
Used to pretend it was a wedding 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
Playing cops and robbers and the Civil War
We'd all meet up at the swimming hole
With marshmellow sticks and our homemade fishing poles
And the stars would guide us home
Oh, those sweet memories....
{Chorus}
(Well) I love those summer days
Drifting on by like a slow parade
And everything feels fine in the warm sunshine
When your world unwinds.
And you kick back in your flip-flops.
And you 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
Praying so hard that the night won't end too soon
He whispers, I love you.
And I melt into his arms....
{Chorus Repeat}
The sun goes down, and the barbecue's lit
The radio's playing that summer hit
We all wish these days would last forever...
{Chorus Repeat}
