Some of the happiest days are when the sun rays cascade Over your back in the most naturally placid of ways You don't have to ask whether perhaps it'll rain And the centigrade never strays past twenty eight It's fantastically great kicking back with your mates And knowing no, you don't have to act to your age You can snack on a Flake or take a basket of cakes But make sure you've got some factor eight splashed on your face And the ladies make daisies attached in a chain While the lads entertain them with a basketball game And then after we're knackered and the match has been played Grab a glass of lemonade and relax in the shade We'll bask and just laze in the grass's green blades And sit back and just gaze at the paths of the planes Nothing matters today, you can chatter and play Playful antics under blankets of immaculate haze
Once upon a summer The sun plays across the lawn Once upon a summer The air is sweet and warm
Once upon a summer Heavenly and calm Once upon a summer It's never been this fun
It's ace when you're tipsy and playing with a frisbee There ain't been better days in the pages of history And though your hay fever itches and makes you be sniffly It's blatantly plain that you'll savour and miss these Great times when they're gone, days lying in the sun Bathing, misbehaving and playfighting for fun They might have been some of the days of your life that you'll always Be reminded of when your time to pass away finally comes And as the day becomes night and the sun goes down The shadows grow slow and cloak round your home town There's no sound but the bees and the birds And slowly but certainly the season returns You turn down to the ground and there's leaves on the earth Turning brown and allowing the trees to rebirth There's a breeze in the air and it breathes through your hair And that's it - summer leaves for the year
Summer's come and gone The day's no longer young Summer's come and gone But the memory lives on
