This time is coming closer that special time of year,
When feelings of love and joy abound as summer draws near.
In this wonderful summertime love is in the air,
And people all over and everywhere just don't have a care.
The sun lifts its head early in the morn,
And gives us a bright golden dawn.
The birds are singing the children are playing,
Oh! What happiness summer is bringing.
This is the time of year we set off on holiday,
The beach or out for fun does it matter, anyway.
We all need time to relax with a lover or a friend,
To clear the stress of life or weary bones to mend.
We head out in the country with a picnic to eat,
We lounge and play around who worries about the heat,
At the end of the day when all is said and done,
What a great time we had laying in the sun.
Now the summer is over and autumn is drawing near,
The holidays are over 'til this time next year.
Before you start to complain because of the heat,
Tell me just one thing which other season will it beat.
