BBC Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where it may rain or storm
Yet I'm safe and warm
For within that summer place
Your arms reach out to me
And my heart is free from all care
For it knows
When seen through the eyes
Of those who are blessed with love
And the sweet secret of
A summer place
Is that it's anywhere
When two people share
All their hopes
All their dreams
All their love
There's a summer place
Where it may rain or storm
Yet I'm safe and warm
In your arms, in your arms
In your arms, in your arms
In your arms, in your arms
The lyrics of the BBC Orchestra’s song “A Summer Place” speaks about a place where one can feel safe and warm amidst any adversities. The summer place mentioned here is not restricted to any location, but rather a state of mind where the arms of the person we love becomes our shelter from any storm or worries. The lyrics emphasize how love can brighten up even the gloomiest skies and make a place feel like heaven. The chorus repeats that the summer place is wherever two individuals share their hopes, dreams, and love, and it is these elements that make us feel safe and warm in the embrace of our loved one.
The song’s nostalgia-inducing melody and captivating lyrics have made it a classic hit, and it has been covered by various famous artists such as Percy Faith, The Lettermen, and Andy Williams. The song seamlessly blends romanticism and optimism, and it gained widespread popularity when it was used as the theme for the 1959 film “A Summer Place,” starring Sandra Dee and Richard Egan.
