Lyrics

Verse:
Sleeping all alone, Nobody by my side
Rain is gone, air is sweet, people lie

Chorus:

Come on and walk with me, ooh-ah-oh - In the summertime
Everything is free - In the summertime
Come on and sing with me - In the summertime
Bright lights, they shine on me - In the summertime

Verse:
Distant bark, As we walk, sun is shinin?
Old stray dog, Sun is burnin
Time won?t yield, there?s no limit, life in space
Shoes on wrong, Boardwalk burning

Chorus (same as above Chorus)

Verse:
Sleeping all alone, nobody by my side
(gonna) Crack some sea shells,skip a rock, crawl on by
Sand is hot, feet are cold, people lie
Sun is setting , say good-bye

Chorus:
Come on and walk with me, ooh-ah-oh - In the summertime
Everything is free - In the summertime
Come on and lay with me - In the summertime
Bright lights, they shine on me - In the summertime
