Nr sommarnatten blir till dag
Ligger vi och ser nr stranden mter hav
Hr i en vrld som ger mig allt vad jag begr
Det knns som en drm att just du r hr
Natten kommer och allting vaknar
Vi vill inte sova
Vrmen stiger - vi hr skratten utanfr
Rytmer bultar p vr drr

Happy people
Vi ska dansa natten lng
Happy people
Vi sjunger p samma sng
Happy people
Det hr r vr sommar
Jag vill aldrig tillbaks
Till kyla regn o sn
Vi hr havet utanfr
Och vi har paradiset utanfr vr drr
Det knns s rtt och allting stmmer nu fr mig
Det r s underbart att f vara med dig
Natten kommer och allting vaknar ...
Happy people ...
Natten kommer och allting vaknar
Vi vill inte sova
Vrmen stiger - vi hr skratten utanfr

Rytmer bultar p vr drr
Happy people ...
