  • Summertime when will you come
    I wanna put my light things on
    I wanna put my winter life away
    Summertime I need a sunny day

    I want those peaches on the table
    I want the watermelon red
    And the warm sun creeping through the window
    To ease me out of bed

    I want the sand out there to lie on
    And the sea out there to swim
    So my heart can take a holiday
    From breakin' over him

    Summertime when will you come
    I wanna put my light things on
    I wanna put my winter life away
    Summertime I need a sunny day

    And I want to drive forever
    Wanna roll the windows down
    Get the breeze back on my body
    Get my feet back on the ground

    I want the sand out there to lie on
    And the sea out there to swim
    So my heart can take a holiday
    From breakin' over him

    Summertime when will you come
    I wanna put my light things on
    I wanna put my winter life away
