Summertime Lyrics

It's the time of year with things growing wild
Love's found underneath the stars
Kids are playing in the backyard now
Catching fireflies in a jar
I am sitting on my back porch
And I'm wondering where you are
And if you look at the moon like I do
Does it break your heart
Does it break your heart
When you think about me
Do you remember to forget
Summertime

I go back there in my mind
Kissing underneath the moonlight
Discovering things we thought we'd never find
When I was yours and baby you were mine
Summertime

I thought I saw you a couple months ago
At the airport boarding a plane
I couldn't move I didn't know what to do
And you took my breath away
I heard she's wearing a shiny diamond ring
I guess you're finally moving on
I hope you're happy when she's looking up at you
And I know it might be wrong
Yeah it might be wrong
When I think about you I just can't forget
Summertime

I go back there in my mind
Kissing underneath the moonlight
Discovering things we thought we'd never find
When I was yours and baby you were mine
Oh summertime

Summertime
I go back there in my mind
And oh how it gets me everytime

All the flowers growing wild
Kissing underneath the moonlight
Discovering things we thought we'd never find
When I was yours and baby you were mine
Summertime

I am sitting on my backporch
And I'm wondering where you are

I thought I saw you a couple months ago At the airport boarding a plane I couldn't move I didn't know what to do And you took my breath away

I really like these lines. They ring true - when you're switching planes at a hub, it's possible you could run into anyone you've ever known.

The mixture of fear and longing in "couldn't move" and "took my breath away" is pretty apt too.
