Lyrics
PERFECT SUMMER
Music & Lyrics (C) Eve Goonan
High on a windswept summer
We swam into each other
Diving under the water
Twas the strangest feeling
I felt my lips start tingling
I must be summertime dreaming
And now we're chasing through the wind by the waterside
I'm twirling in my colours like a butterfly
Sand up to my thighs
Feeling so wild
Playin' like a fool till I know all your secrets
Endless days beside the ocean
Whoa!!!
This perfect summer tastes so sweet
Dancing and sparkling over me
Your salty lips and sapphire eyes
Your fingertips electrify
Wish we could stay forever
Here in this perfect summer
From a heart break ending
Came the best new beginning
An emotional healing
And now we're gliding through the water in the sunlight
I'm drifting like a daisy in the crystal tide
Kissin' blue skies sippin' strawberry ice
Floating on sea clouds breathing in our secrets
This perfect summer tastes so sweet
Dancing and sparkling over me
Your salty lips and sapphire eyes
Your fingertips electrify
Wish we could stay forever
Here in this perfect summer
As the windy day grows cold
And the night falls in my soul
I will keep this flame alight
Tender summer so divine
This perfect summer tastes so sweet
Dancing and sparkling over me
Your salty lips and sapphire eyes
Your fingertips electrify
Wish we could stay forever
Here in this perfect summer
Stay in this perfect summer
I wish I could
Stay in this perfect summer
Stay in this perfect summer
Stay in this, here in this perfect summer
