The Sweet Sounds of Summer Lyrics

Intro:
Once I’d wake up I reach out and take your hand
The sky was our blanket, the pillow was the sand
Then on the beach that’s where we fell in love
The only one who shared our love were the bright stars up above

Now all I have is this lonely room and winter’s come
The only sound that can be heard are my teardrops as they fall

Chorus:
(Remember) Sweet sounds of summer it drives too strongly
Sweet ways are humming with a sigh
(Remember) Sweet sounds of summer wish I was (?)
Our hearts were slowly way up high

The sweet sound was caught, the quiet of our kiss
The quiet of our lips spelled to our fingertips
And we were lost and in love (so very lost)

Say life’s a game and it hurries by so fast
And if you find someone to love do your best to make it last
We were too young and the summers come and go
Until the time we meet again the memory lingers on

Chorus

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
