๐ Lyrics
I was in your presence for an hour or so
Or was it a day? I truly don't know
Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low
By that soft and shining sea
Do you respect me for what I did
Or for what I didn't do, or for keeping it hid?
Did I lose my mind when I tried to get rid
Of everything you see?
In the summertime (summertime), ah-a in the summertime
In the summertime (summertime), when you were with me
I got the heart and you got the blood
We cut through iron and we cut through mud
Then came the warnin' that was before the flood
That set everybody free
Fools they made a mock of sin
Our loyalty they tried to win
You were closer to me than my next of kin
But they didn't want to know or see
In the summertime (summertime), ah-a, in the summertime
In the summertime (summertime), when you were with me
Oh, they made a mock of things
Better changes, unless the table their
All that sufferers not to be compared
With the glory that is to be
And I'm still carrying the gift you gave
It's a part of me now, it's been cherished and saved
It'll be with me unto the grave
And then unto eternity
In the summertime (summertime, ooh, summertime)
(Summertime, summertime) when you were with me
In the summertime (summertime, ooh, summertime), oh, yeah, in the summertime
In the summertime (summertime) when you were with me
Or was it a day? I truly don't know
Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low
By that soft and shining sea
Do you respect me for what I did
Or for what I didn't do, or for keeping it hid?
Did I lose my mind when I tried to get rid
Of everything you see?
In the summertime (summertime), ah-a in the summertime
In the summertime (summertime), when you were with me
I got the heart and you got the blood
We cut through iron and we cut through mud
Then came the warnin' that was before the flood
That set everybody free
Fools they made a mock of sin
Our loyalty they tried to win
You were closer to me than my next of kin
But they didn't want to know or see
In the summertime (summertime), ah-a, in the summertime
In the summertime (summertime), when you were with me
Oh, they made a mock of things
Better changes, unless the table their
All that sufferers not to be compared
With the glory that is to be
And I'm still carrying the gift you gave
It's a part of me now, it's been cherished and saved
It'll be with me unto the grave
And then unto eternity
In the summertime (summertime, ooh, summertime)
(Summertime, summertime) when you were with me
In the summertime (summertime, ooh, summertime), oh, yeah, in the summertime
In the summertime (summertime) when you were with me
