Lyrics

Summer Of Love

IT WAS AN AWAKENING / AND IF YOU WERE THERE
YOU'D KNOW WHAT I MEAN / CAN'T HELP REMEMBERING
THE SUMMER OF LOVE

IT WAS A TIME OF CHANGE / AND IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND STRANGE
AND NOTHING'S BEEN QUITE THE SAME
SINCE THE SUMMER OF LOVE

There are moments I swear, It's like I'm still there
That place where I belonged
The scent in the air, the wind in my hair
And living those songs

IT WAS A PERFECT TIME / CHOOSING WHICH
MOUNTAINS THAT WE WOULD CLIMB / FOREVER I'LL CALL IT MINE
IT WAS THE SUMMER OF LOVE

I'm willing to bet, You can never forget
The sound that moves you still
It was the state of the art and it beats in your heart,
And it always will

IT WAS A TIME TO SING / IT WAS A TIME WE BEGAN TO DREAM
AND MUSIC MEANT EVERYTHING IN THE SUMMER OF LOVE

My life has moved on, that summer is gone
But not forgotten
When those melodies sing to me
I'm there

WHAT AN AWAKENING / AND IF YOU WERE THERE
YOU'D KNOW WHAT I MEAN / CAN'T HELP REMEMBERING
THE SUMMER OF LOVE

IT WAS OUR TIME TO SING / IT WAS OUR TIME WE BEGAN TO DREAM FOREVER MY HEART REMAINS, IN THE SUMMER OF LOVE
IN THE SUMMER OF LOVE, IT WAS THE SUMMER OF LOVE
IN THE SUMMER OF LOVE
