It smelled like junipers the day that you left
Some kind of fairy tale I didn't invent

Oh
These days
The best that I had
You were summertime
Summertime
Summertime

The warmth of those lovely days is still on my skin
Oh
How those golden rays
It swallowed me in

Oh
These days
The best that I had
You are summertime
Summertime
Summertime

It all fades away
It all fades away

Laying in blades of grass
The earth through my feet
Bare neck and shoulders that tasted so sweet

Oh
These days
The best that I had
You were summertime
Summertime
Summertime

And it all fades away
And it all fades away

Cold winds and rainy days have torn us apart
At least that is what we say
The truth would just hurt

Oh
These days
The best that I had
You were summertime
Summertime
Summertime

Oh
These days
The best that I had
You were summertime
Summertime
Summertime
Summertime
Summertime
Summertime
