Summer Lyrics

In celebration of the summer holidays, I'm sharing some of my favourite summer lyrics. Did I leave out one of your favourites?

School's out for summer
School's out forever
(School's Out by Alice Cooper)

Seven weeks of river walkways
Seven weeks of staying up all night
I spent the summer wasting
The time was passed so pleasantly
Say cheerio to books now
The only things I'll read are faces
(A Summer Wasting by Belle and Sebastian)

Maybe the summer will come and clear our minds
And find the impulse to love the sunshine
(Indian Summer by Manic Street Preachers)

Summer sun, something's begun,
but uh-oh those summer nights
(Summer Nights by John Travolta and Olivia Newton John)

Squeaky swings and tall grass
The longest shadows ever cast
The water's warm and children swim
And we frolicked about in our summer skin
(Summer Skin by Death Cab for Cutie)

Catching Walleye from the dock
Watching the waves roll off the rocks
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
We'd blister in the sun
(All Summer Long by Kid Rock)

Somewhere there is some place that one million eyes can't see
And somewhere there is someone, who can see what I can see
Someone, somewhere in summertime
(Someone, Somewhere in Summertime by Simple Minds)

I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
(Boys of Summer by Don Henley)

Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
(Summer of '69 by Bryan Adams)

All Summer long
We sang a song
And then we strolled on golden sand
Two sweethearts
And the summer wind
(The Summer Wind by Michael Buble)

Pop in my cd and let me run a rhyme
And put your car on cruise and lay back cause
this is summertime
(Summertime by Will Smith)

Oh sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom
July is dressed up and playing her tune
And when I come home from a hard day's work
And you're waiting there, yes you're waiting there
Without a care in the world
(Summer Breeze by Jason Mraz)

And finally, one for K...
There's always time to complain about the weather
Seasons change in a day just like each other
But we wait for summer
Seven day holiday in the rain with you
(Caravan Holiday by Stereophonics)

  2. Got one for you .... of course it's Bon Jovi!

    You make me feel something like summertime
    Top down ain't nothing but time
    Radio's on and you're by my side
    Feels something like summertime

    Like that first slow dance and that first long kiss
    There ain't nothing baby better than this
    It's like a beach blanket and a bottle of wine
    It feels something like summertime
    Sum-sum-summertime

    Just had to add that one! :)

  3. Kel, you'll come up with one...there are others I left out there ;-) and probably lots more I didn't think of or find (didn't want the post to be too long) I just couldn't leave the Stereophonics one because it seemed too perfect with the rain we've had and are expecting...

    Great one Carolyn...I was hoping you'd have a Bon Jovi one to share...a post wouldn't be complete without one :-)
