Summer Song

Summer Song

Have I told you how I saw her
In the window ‘cross the street
In the city in the summer
She was warm, oh she was sweet
Have I told you how I met her,
A flash across the room.
I was struck by lightning in the afternoon.

Play a summer song in your heart and on the radio
Play it all summer long like your favorite picture show
Play a summer song with words we all might know:
Summer music, a summer song
Do you remember a summer song

I remember we went walking
Into the sunset ‘cross the bridge
We climbed high up above that river
And stood so close, so close to the edge
Then down along the promenade
She turned me right around
I felt my bridges burning,
Let ‘em burn down…

Music like a heartbeat
Drifting through a memory
She whispers softly in the darkness
Whispering to me… whispering to me…
Shoo-bop ooh we ooh
Shoo-bop summer and the radio
Shoo-bop ooh we ooh
Shoo-bop summer and the radio

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Let Me Back Into Your Life CD.
