"Nothin' Like The Summer" Lyrics

A firefly glowing on my left hand
Used to pretend it was a wedding band
A tall cool glass of Mama's lemonade
Sold from a stand that me and my sister made
We'd count our quarters in the shade underneath the trees

The boys in the clubhouse are right next door
Playing cops and robbers and the Civil War
We'd all meet up at the swimming hole
With marshmallow sticks and our homemade fishing poles
And the stars would guide us home, oh, those sweet memories

Well, I love those summer days
Drifting on by like a slow parade
And everything feels fine in the warm sunshine
When your world unwinds

And you kick back in your flip-flops
And you don't care about the tick-tock
And the world is full of music, dreams and lovers

There ain't nothin' like the summer
There ain't nothin' like the summer

A blue eyed boy with the baseball tan
On the ferris wheel he takes my hand
Long, slow dance underneath the moon
Praying so hard that the night won't end too soon
He whispers, I love you and I melt into his arms

Well, I love those summer days
Drifting on by like a slow parade
And everything feels fine in the warm sunshine
When your world unwinds

And you kick back in your flip-flops
And you don't care about the tick-tock
And the world is full of music, dreams and lovers

There ain't nothin' like the summer
There ain't nothin' like the summer

The sun goes down and the barbecue's lit
The radio's playing that summer hit
We all wish these days would last forever

I love those summer days
Drifting on by like a slow parade
And everything feels fine in the warm sunshine
When your world unwinds

And you kick back in your flip-flops
And you don't care about the tick-tock
And the world is full of music, dreams and lovers

There ain't nothin' like the summer
(I love those summer days)
There ain't nothin' like the summer
(I love those summer days)

Ooh, I love those summer days, ooh
