lyrics

SUMMER

Driving through Beaver Valley
On our way to Georgian Bay
It’s you and me together
Nothing can stand in our way
Magnolia scent in the air
Daydreaming, not a care in the world

The road is far and wide
As it opens to the azure sky
Down below, the river flows
On it’s way through nooks and hollows
Oh Summer, carry me home
On a warm breeze, hammock below

Now we’re at the shoreline
On a brilliant summer’s day
Looking at the water
And the pounding of turquoise waves
Oh Summer, carry me home
On a warm breeze, and ecstatic flow

Something’s got ahold of me
Cutting through my memory
I’m so blind that I can’t see
Goodness right in front of me
Darling I’m in love with you
Heart is strong and holding true
May this moment never end
‘Cause you and me can’t pretend

Oh, running away
Ever so strange
Out on the range
Run, running away
Ever so strange, out on the range

Something’s got ahold of me
Cutting through my memory
I’m so blind that I can’t see
Goodness right in front of me
Darling I’m in love with you
Heart is strong and holding true
May this moment never end
‘Cause you and me can’t pretend

Oh, running away
Ever so strange
Out on the range
Oh running away
Ever so strange
Out on the range

Something’s got ahold of me
Cutting through my memory
I’m so blind that I can’t see
Goodness right in front of me
Darling I’m in love with you
Heart is strong and holding true
May this moment never end
‘Cause you and me can’t pretend
And I’m longing for the day, searching for the way...
