Magic Summertime
Eleni Mandell
It was just like a dream when we first got together,
How our lips, like a match, lit a fire.
I knew, in my heart, it would not last forever,
But forever is a long, long time.
What a day! What a life! I always love the weather,
When it's too hot to think. And I try
A taste "”-- just a sip "”-- your sweet, sweet kiss,
Like a nice, cold drink you've fortified.
Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo coooo,
Magic summertime!
It was just like I imagined, when we first met,
How our fingers became intertwined.
I knew, in my heart, that our chances were slim,
But a gambler never gambles to be wise.
Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo coooo,
Magic summertime!
Autumn is volatile and winter is cruel.
Spring can be tragical, but summertime is magical.
(There's an 18-second instrumental segment here.)
It was just like a fairytale, when we were introduced,
How our eyes, like a flash, filled with light.
And I knew, in my heart, we would both avoid the truth,
But our cover-up was heaven for a while.
Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo coooo,
Magic summertime!
Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo,
Magic summertime!
Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo,
Magic summertime!
