Carmen Rasmusen Nothin' Like the Summer Lyrics

1st Verse

A firefly glowin' on my left hand
Used to pretend it was a weddin' band
A tall cool glass of Mama's lemonade
Sold from a stand that me and my sister made
We'd count our quarters in the shade
Underneath a tree

2nd Verse

The boys in the clubhouse are right next door
Playin' cops and robbers and the Civil War
We'd all meet up at the swimmin' hole
With marshmellow sticks and our homemade fishin' poles
And the stars would guide us home
Oh, those sweet memories

Chorus

(Well) I love those summer days
Driftin' on by like a slow parade
And everything feels fine in the warm sunshine
When your world unwinds
And 'ya kick back in your flip-flops
And 'ya don't care about the tick-tock
And the world is full of music, dreams, and lovers
There ain't nothin' like the summer
(I love those summer days)
There ain't nothin' like the summer
(I love those summer days)
(I love those summer days)

3rd Verse

A blue-eyed boy with the baseball tan
On the ferris wheel he takes my hand
Long, slow dance underneath the moon
Prayin' so hard that the night won't end too soon
He whispers, 'I love you'
And I melt into his arms

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

The sun goes down, and the barbecue's lit
The radio's playin' that summer hit
We all wish these days would last forever

(Repeat Chorus)
