Dan Bull - Summer lyrics

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
