Lyrics
On the spur of the moment
Imagination captures truth
And in the wrinkles of time may my mind retain it's youth
But over and over
Gets hotter, gets colder
As I'm getting older it gets no easier now
December is calling
The leaves they are falling
My memories are stalling and it
Seems summertime's gone
It Seems Summertime's Gone
It seems summertime's Gone
