(Blaise Tosti/Bud Reneau) Though the sun may be dawning You're the one that lights the morning As I awake to the heaven Of your sweet summer lovin' By a stream in the country Running barefoot and feeling free While the love in our hearts blend Into sweet summer lovin' Sweet summer lovin' in the dandelions Sweet summer lovin' keeps me high as candy wine When that big red balloon sets Like a painting across the West As the sky turns a crimson blue As the world turns for me and you By the light of the moon glowing While the warm summer wind blows 'Cross the sill of your window We'll be letting our love flow Sweet summer lovin' in the dandelions Sweet summer lovin' keeps me high as candy wine Sweet summer lovin' in the dandelions Sweet summer lovin' keeps me high as candy wine Sweet summer lovin' Sweet summer lovin' Mmm... Sweet summer lovin' Mmm... Sweet summer lovin' I love your sweet summer lovin' Sweet summer lovin' Sweet summer lovin' Mmm... Sweet summer lovin' Mmm... Sweet summer lovin'
