lyrics

Summertime Filled The Air (And You Were There)

I was thinking of a song that
I had sung when I was small
And the words kept coming back to me
Like summer comes to fall
I felt the same impressions of a dream
I know you know exactly what I mean

The world was so much larger
And the rooftops were so high
And all I had to do was climb a tree
To touch the sky
I felt the same impressions of a dream
I know you know exactly what I mean

I saw the friends that I used to know
And we were walking down a rocky road
And summertime filled the air
And you were there
You were there

Fishing in a puddle
With a string tied to a nail
Building wooden boats
We used a hanky for a sail
I felt the same impressions of a dream
I know you know exactly what I mean

Imagination never knew any bounds
When we filled in all the sights and sounds
And summertime filled the air
And you were there
You were there

You leave the classroom in single file then
You fly across the grounds
You're down the big slide
And then the merry-go-round

The teeter-totter, a game of four-square
You're on the monkey bars
You play red-rover
Recess is over now

Playing army in the fields
Football in the yard
Climbing trees and catching bees
Inside a mason jar
I felt the same impressions of a dream
I know you know exactly what I mean

I mean the stories that we all believed
Are still inside us when we go to sleep
And summertime filled the air
And you were there
You were there…

You never left it all behind
You never left at all
You never left it all behind
