Summer Rain
Craig Peyton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
West wind soft as a sweet dream
My love, warm as the sunshine
Sitting here by me, yeah
She's here by me
She stepped out of a rainbow
Golden hair shining like moonglow
Sitting here by me, now
She's here by me
All summer long we were dancing in the sand
Everybody just kept on playing "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"
We sailed into the sunset
Drifting home, caught by a gulf stream
Never gave a thought for tomorrow
Let tomorrow be, yeah
Let tomorrow be
She wants to live in the Rockies
She says that's where we'll find peace
Settle down, raise up a family
One to call our own, yeah
We will have a home
All summer long we were grooving in the sand
Everybody just kept on playing "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"
Winter snows drift by my window
North wind blowing like thunder
Our love is burning like fire
She's here by me, yeah
She's here by me
Let tomorrow be
