To You - Sweet Summertime
A splendid sample of the Lord’s design,
the days from June until September gleam.
Sweet summertime, you’re still a friend of mine.
The summers of my youth were like a dream.
I lived for cooling off inside a pool.
The days from June until September gleam.
The kids adore you for time off from school.
Oh, what a time for fun beneath the sun!
I lived for cooling off inside a pool.
In hammocks I’d read books – a lazy one!
To bicycle, eat ice cream and play ball -
Oh, what a time for fun beneath the sun!
Those fireworks in the sky for one and all.
Forever I will love you with no doubt:
to bicycle, eat ice cream and play ball.
By night, the fireflies flitted all about -
a splendid sample of the Lord’s design.
Forever I will love you with no doubt.
Sweet summertime, you’re still a friend of mine.
