The Warmth Of The Sun - Entertaining Dutchess

Music is someone's thoughts and/or feelings put to notes and often- words. Crafting words into a form of art as such has always impressed me- so at age 21 I started doing "my own thang."

Out on the veranda this AM with the Yamaha- entertaining the dog- birds and squirrels with a 20-year-old personal ode to the Season of Sun ...

SUMMER AGAIN
(J. BOTEE) ©1987 ... BoSongs MUSIC COMPANY

(Intro) Distant shores ..... Calling me,
Long lost days
When we were young and free;
Mem'ries that slip your mind but then,
Before you know .... It's summer again;


Long departed mem'ry,
Or a present view?
Days of fun, surf and sun,
Long overdue;
In the old days on those beaches,
We shared a bond;
But now it's new days on those beaches,
And the spirit is gone;

(Chorus) Let's get together,
And do it again;
It's been far too long,
Since we did it my friend;
From old Laguna
To Malta Bend,
Shady trees, feel the breeze,
It's summer again;

Impromptu picnic,
In an unlikely place;
Laugh at how you acted,
With pie on your face;
Ah those old days on the beaches,
Burning summer sun;
Now it's new days on those beaches,
You are long gone;

Let's get together,
And do it again;
Live a life-long summer,
That would never end;
Surfing off Laguna,
Skiing Malta Bend;
Making 'whoopee' in the sand,
Yes it's summer again;


(Bridge) Ah-Ha (Shooby-dooby....Dooby do-wah),
Ah-Ha (Shooby-dooby....Dooby do-wah),
Ah-Ha (Shooby-dooby....Dooby do-wah),
Ah-Ha;


Days are short
And the nights so cold;
Dream of youth and lovers,
While you're growing old;
Gone the old days and the beaches,
Yes the summer's done;
But new days will bring
Yet another one;

Let's get together,
And do it again;
It's been far too long,
Since we did it my friend;
From old Laguna
To Malta Bend,
Shady trees, feel the breeze,
It's summer again;

Let's get together,
And do it again;
Live a life-long summer,
That would never end;
Surfing off Laguna,
Skiing Malta Bend;
Making 'whoopee' in the sand,
Yes it's summer again;


Yes indeed, it's summer again;
Can't you see, it's summer again;
Sun and free, it's summer again;
You and me
And summer again.
