Written summer of 2011 at 7am while mowing the 3rd hole green at Montcalm Golf Course in Grantham, NH. I wrote this song almost entirely without an instrument. It was a beautiful New England summer day and I surely could not take it for granted, because the seasons change and so do relationships with people. But this is special because recognizing good weather and good friendship when its there, allows us to not take it for granted. Ahh, don't we all wish we could hang with our Summer Girl just a little longer before she changes her mind? This track is also meant to be danced and clapped to and I was thinking about the family parties that occur during July 4th. This song goes out to Jay Boucher and the amazing dance moves that go down at "The Bluff".
lyrics
Verse: I wonder what its like if it were summer all the time, would we be happy just to live in shine? And if we'd given peace a chance, maybe we'd all just sing and dance and never have to work to make things right.
Pre-Chorus: We cannot take these days for granted, she's giving love and you know she meant it.
Chorus: We are innocent, young, wild, and free and I wanna be. I wanna be with my summer girl. Don't let those rain clouds pour on me and cover what I want to see, the sun is always out when you're with me, it's summer girl.
Verse: Hey I see you there, I'm trying hard not to stare at the glaring sun that's beating down on your poor heart. I think that I would like to soak you up, so full of love and I just can't get enough to fill me up.
Pre-Chorus: We cannot take these days for granted, she's giving love and you know she meant it.
Chorus: We are innocent, young, wild, and free and I wanna be. I wanna be with my summer girl. Don't let those rain clouds pour on me and cover what I want to see, the sun is always out when you're with me, it's summer girl.
Bridge: We cannot take these days for granted, she's giving love and you know she meant it. And when the seasons change, will you remain the same for me.
