[Intro]
x2
[Verse 1]
I was in your presence
For an hour or so
Or was it a day
I truly don't know
For the sun never set
For the trees hung low
By that soft and shining sea
Did you respect me for what I did
Or did I lose my mind when I tried to get big
Did I lose my mind when I tried to get hid
From everything you see
[Chorus]
In the summer time
(Summer time)
Ooohh in the summer time
In the summer time
(Summer time)
When you were with me
[Solo]
x2
I got the heart and you got the blood
We cut through iron and we cut through mud
But then came the storm before the flood
That set everybody free
Fools they made a mock of sin
Our loyalty they tried to win
But you were closer to me than my next of kin
They didn't want to know or see
[Chorus]
In the summer time
(Summer time)
Ooohh in the summer time
In the summer time
(Summer time)
When you were with me
[Solo]
x2
Strangers meddle in our affairs
Our poverty and shame was theirs
But all that is not to be compared
With the glory that is to be
Now I'm still carrying that gift you gave
It's a part of me it's been cherished and saved
And it will be with be until the grave
And into eternity
[Chorus]
In the summer time
(Summer time)
Ooohh in the summer time
In the summer time
(Summer time)
When you were with me
In the summer time
(Summer time)
Ooohh in the summer time
In the summer time
(Summer time)
When you were with me
[Outro]
