wake-up we’re stealing cars
1996 1997 1998 we’re all waiting for the year 2000
just the smell on the summer can make me fall in love
we go to the parties listen to the DJ’s
dance dance dance and go crazy
she’s a party queen an she’s in party heaven
her clock is stuck on late
got a first name basis at 7-11
hold the slip slide taste the sweat it’s salty
irrigation ditch and a swimming hole
nation-wide loved the movie
Why do you have to leave me now and go home?
Summer, it starts when i see you.
My smile, it parts when i hear you talking to me.
My heart, it beats when it’s me who i know you love,
And my mind, it just goes crazy
Knowing i’m going to be with you always.
I ask you if you will hold my hand,
And you ask me if i’ll kiss you.
You want to know how much i love you,
I say, "well, i guess i’ll miss you."
Well, i call you on the telephone
‘cause you call me all the time,
‘cause i need to know the same of you and you the same of me,
That you’re still mine.
Tell me a story about me and you
And i know how it will end-
Happily ever after, just like it will begin.
And i’ll show you a happy boy and girl
If you show me a picture of me and you.
When it’s time to leave, i’ll ask you what to do.
I ask you if you will hold my hand,
And you ask me if i’ll kiss you.
You want to know how much i love you,
I say, "well i guess i’ll miss you."
Well, i call you back on the telephone
‘cause you call me all the time,
‘cause i need to know the same of you and you the same of me,
That you’re still mine.
This song was first released on the an evening with john denver album. it is the only album it has been released on.
Silently the morning mist is lying on the water
Captive moonlight waiting for the dawn
Softly like a baby’s breath a breeze begins to whisper
The sun is coming, quick you must be gone
Smiling like a superstar the morning comes in singing
The promise of another sunny day
And all the flowers open up to gather in the sunshine
I do believe that summer’s here to stay
And oh i love the life within me
I feel part of everything i see
And oh i love the life around me
A part of everything is here in me
Riding on the tapestry of all there is to see
So many ways and oh so many things
Rejoicing in the differences, ther’s no one just like me
Yet as different as we are we’re still the same
And oh i love the life within me
I feel part of everything i see
And oh i love the life around me
A part of everything is here in me
Words and music by john denver, mike taylor and dick kniss
She doesn’t see the coming fall
She doesn’t show no fear at all
Bring on autumn moon or the driving rain
I only hope I see her face again
Chorus
Everything is gonna be alright when summer comes
The darkest stars will burn so bright when summer comes
We will open up our bodies to the warming of the sun
When summer comes
I will wait in the silence until she returns
To melt the frozen prison round this fool who never learns
Every living thing that’s born must have its end
What winter takes away, spring brings back again
Chorus
Summer doesn’t feel the coming frost
And she doesn’t yield to pain or loss
Death where is thy victory where is thy string
When every year we hear the birds of summer sing
Chorus
The place they were stranded
The traces that they made
All got washed away
The people before us
The fires that they burned
Somehow all want out
Let’s make a decision
Alone I cannot judge
The tide is coming in
It’s all for the better
Come with me if you want
‘Cause I am heading home
But I feel no guilt
I’m doing all the things that I want to do
Do we all believe in contemplation
Do we all believe it?
I put my boat right on the water
I hear the voices calling, but is it you?
Do we all believe in endless summers
Do we all believe in summer?
So do you remember
Or is it what you’re told
Who am I to know?
It’s all for the better
Come with me if you want
‘Cause I am heading home
I am putting my boat on the water…
The place they were stranded
The traces that they made
All got washed away
The people before us
The fires that they burned
Somehow all want out
Let’s make a decision
Alone i cannot judge
The tide is coming in
It’s all for the better
Come with me if you want
‘cause i am heading home
But i feel no guilt
I’m doing all the things that i want to do
Do we all believe in contemplation
Do we all believe it?
I put my boat right on the water
I hear the voices calling, but is it you?
Do we all believe in endless summers
Do we all believe in summer?
So do you remember
Or is it what you’re told
Who am i to know?
It’s all for the better
Come with me if you want
‘cause i am heading home
I am putting my boat on the water…
Her fingers feel the air
The mantle now so bare
From green then into brown
Lie scattered all around
We hope they will return
Like those before did learn
Now that their summer’s gone
We have to carry on
Till we rise, i just can’t wait
Now tell me, who are you
To judge my fate?
Chorus:
Oh, the rain burns on
Now that summer’s gone
Oh, the wind blows strong
Now that summer’s gone
Across the fields we ran
To emerald castles, banned
By rule of modern man
Who built a winterland
Then as the seasons change
He’ll fly and hide away
Above a cloud of words
On wings of gold i heard
We must rise, it’s not too late
Now tell me, who are you
To change our fate?
Chorus
Mrs. Kirby, you shouldn’t have
Serve me. Get it.
Entertain the thought of sheer elation.
Hold tight. Tighter.
Immanent dives ‘til the sun rises.
Entice. Approach.
Chill to the thought of pure delight.
Venture deeper.
Every moment is it’s own occasion.
Sorry, who are you? My memory’s hazy.
Thoughts I can’t control, they drive me crazy.
Let us relive them tonight.
Sorry, who are you? Seductive lady.
Thoughts I can’t control will drive me crazy.
Of course I will set you right.
You’ll find out
Abruptly
That you’re cold
The water was warm.
Do remember summer?
Maybe you’d like another
Just take a number
and wait your turn, just wait
We light a fire, ignite and burn
Come back. Give it.
Cogitate the fear of raw elation.
Hold tight. Tighter.
Subsequent fibs and compromises.
Aching for more.
Deliberative moves, immaculate planning.
Venture deeper.
Immanent dives ‘til the sun arises.
You’ll find out
That you’re cold.
The water was warm.
(claude s.)
Every day is going to be your birthday,
Filled with summer in your eyes…
Solitude among the windy moments that we spent;
We will never walk alone…
Tell me, do you know my every wish?
Are they true against the cold of winter days?
Show me what you’re hearing in the wind and trees,
And let me in…
Summer will not let us go, so i’ll never let it end,
No, i’ll never let it go, summer will not let us go…
Again…
It’s far beyond your reach, it holds a place in time,
Somewhere ahead is the back of the line.
I can’t relate to your mistakes, awkwardly speaking with nothing to say.
Caught up in your life, excuses are so lame,
You may be different but I’m still the same.
The reasons that you thought, the intention that you caught,
You say things are simple we both know they’re not.
You can’t let it go,
Whoa.
You can’t but I know.
Whoa, Whoa you don’t even know.
[Chorus]
It’s not in what you do, more in what you say.
A million questions asked, the remnants of the past.
You’ve always been denied, but always by your side.
I’ve always tried to, to understand you,
the worlds not learning from you.
Whoa. Whoa.
[Chorus]
So you finally fessed up to her
All the lies you said
Now you kindly kiss up to her
But the feeling’s dead
Several days have passed now
Darker than any damn cloud now
Liquid sunshine falls down
Harder than all the damn hounds
[Chorus:]
Tried to give you summer, but I’m winter
Wish I could make you spring, but I fall so hard
So you always did what you wanted
We will be on our own
I will soon let you go now
Things will be all right
Several weeks have passed now
Grayer than any gray cloud
Several weeks have passed now
And it’s so hard
[Chorus]
And it’s so hard to get out of bed
She’s impossible to get out of your head
[Chorus]
It’s far beyond your reach, it holds a place in time,
Somewhere ahead is the back of the line.
I can’t relate to your mistakes, awkwardly speaking with nothing to say.
Caught up in your life, excuses are so lame,
You may be different but I’m still the same.
The reasons that you thought, the intention that you caught,
You say things are simple we both know they’re not.
You can’t let it go,
Whoa.
You can’t but I know.
Whoa, Whoa you don’t even know.
[Chorus]
It’s not in what you do, more in what you say.
A million questions asked, the remnants of the past.
You’ve always been denied, but always by your side.
I’ve always tried to, to understand you,
the worlds not learning from you.
Whoa. Whoa.

When I met you in the summer
Took my heart beat sound
We fell in love
As the leaves turned brown
And we could be together, baby
As long as skies are blue
You act so innocent now
But you lied so soon
When I met you in the summer
When I met you in the summer (summer)
Took my heart beat sound (hey)
We fell in love (summer)
As the leaves turned brown (hey)
And we could be together baby, as long as skies
are blue (hey)
You act so innocent now
But you lied so soon
When I met you in the summer
Summer
When I met you in the summer!
Summer! Ey!
Summer! Ey!
Summer! Ey!
Summer! Ey!
