lyrics

I was laying in my bed last night,
With the radio on.
And a song came up and it hit me ,
And it got me humming along .
Took me back many years ago,
When time could be wasted being young and unrefined.
My heart felt its very first pangs,
For a freckled faced blond with a sexy tan line.

CHORUS
Those old summer songs ,
Make me think of you.
Thinking back with a fondness,
Tinged with blue.
To a time when we were foolish and young.
And all we had to do was play in the sun.
And I’d give up all of my memories, just for two.
Summer songs and you .

Surfs up in California.
But we water skied in the East .
Late night camp fires by the shoreline.
Roasted marshmallow feasts..
Convertibles, cook outs , AM radio,
Playing flashlight tag, and sailing in the rain.
I can’t help wondering what you’re doing today .
Do you even remember my face or my name ?

CHORUS
Cause those old summer songs,
Make me think of you .
Thinking back with a fondness,
Tinged with blue.
To a time when we were foolish and young.
And all we had to do, was play in the sun.
I’d give up all of my memories just for two.
Summer songs and you .

Now I don’t go near the water much more,
And I don’t lay in the sun.
Being grown up and working in the city,
Doesn’t leave a lot of time for fun.
It’s not the same since we had to move on.
All I’ve got’s a bunch of memories tired into a song.
The water’s been poisoned , the sun maligned,
And the only beach boys who ever surfed are gone.

And those old summer songs
Make me think of you .
Thinking back with a fondness,
Tinged with blue.
To a time when we were foolish and young.
And all we had to do was play in the sun.
I’d give up all of my memories just for two.
Summer songs and you .
Summer songs and you.
Summer songs and you .
