Lyrics
SUMMER OF LOVE
ALL ABOARD THE CAROUSEL SPINNING ROUND
DAISY CHAINS AND SUMMER RAIN'S SILENT SOUND
AND THE WORLD'S TURNING ON A SILVER WIRE
WITH THE STARS BURNING IN THE SKY
AND LOVE IS PLAYING LIKE A SYMPHONY
FOR YOU AND I
SUMMER OF LOVE, SUMMER OF LOVE
IT'S ALL AROUND, A GIFT FROM ABOVE
IT'S TIME TO TURN ON TO
THE SUMMER OF LOVE, SUMMER OF LOVE
THE EAGLE WILL FLY ALONG WITH THE DOVE
IT'S TIME TO TUNE IN TO
THE SUMMER OF LOVE
EVERYONE IS SEARCHING FOR PARADISE
THINKING LIFE WILL ALWAYS BE A SACRIFICE
AND THE SAME LESSON THAT WE NEVER LEARN
IS STILL BLOWING IN THE WIND
AND ALL THAT YOU'RE REALLY LOOKING FOR
YOU HAVE WITHIN
SUMMER OF LOVE...
AND THOUGH THE RAIN IS FALLING
ANOTHER WORLD IS CALLING TO YOU
CAN YOU HEAR IT TOO?
