Brain engages mouth Mouth expresses thoughts Of how we shared those fun fair rides Beneath the darkness of the night Time can crowd the head Like a sardine can The summer that began to blur Has put us on the calendar This summer there won't be a cloud in the sky I'm so made up I feel I could take off and fly This summer we've pulled all the sheets off the bed I'm so happy I can't get you out of my head This summer I am so in love with you Mornings pass us by As curtains hide the sun Nights we spent out of control Like two flags wrapped around a pole I see the helter skelter lights And hear the music in the breeze And when we're skimming stones tonight It feels so good that you're with me This summer there won't be a cloud in the sky I'm so made up I feel I could take off and fly This summer we've pulled all the sheets off the bed I'm so happy I can't get you out of my head There's no reason to ever feel lonely again This summer I am so in love with you
