Lyrics
Verse:
Sleeping all alone, Nobody by my side
Rain is gone, air is sweet, people lie
Chorus:
Come on and walk with me, ooh-ah-oh - In the summertime
Everything is free - In the summertime
Come on and sing with me - In the summertime
Bright lights, they shine on me - In the summertime
Verse:
Distant bark, As we walk, sun is shinin?
Old stray dog, Sun is burnin
Time won?t yield, there?s no limit, life in space
Shoes on wrong, Boardwalk burning
Chorus (same as above Chorus)
Verse:
Sleeping all alone, nobody by my side
(gonna) Crack some sea shells,skip a rock, crawl on by
Sand is hot, feet are cold, people lie
Sun is setting , say good-bye
Chorus:
Come on and walk with me, ooh-ah-oh - In the summertime
Everything is free - In the summertime
Come on and lay with me - In the summertime
Bright lights, they shine on me - In the summertime
