summer song
Dave Brubeck feat. Louis Armstrong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silent 'cause, there's just too much to say
Still, and warm, and peaceful,
Even clouds that may drift by
Can't disturb our summer sky
I'll take summer, that's my time of year
Winter's shadow, seems to disappear
That's the reason I can say
That I love a summer day
I hear laughter, from the swimming hole
Kids out fishin', with the willow pole
Boats come driftin', round the bend
Why must summer, ever end...
Love, to me, is like a summer day
If it ends, the memories will stay
Still, and warm, and peaceful,
Now the days are getting long
I can sing my summer song
I hear laughter, from the swimmin' hole
Kids out fishin', with the willow pole
Boats come driftin', round the bend
Why must summer, ever end...
Oh, love to me, is like a summer's day
If it ends, the memories will stay
Still, and warm, and peaceful
Now the days are getting long
I can sing, my summer song
The lyrics of "Summer Song" by Dave Brubeck feat. Louis Armstrong describe the feeling of love as serene and calm, like a summer day. Although love brings an overflow of emotions, sometimes it is best to keep silent and just take in the moment. The summer season is depicted as a joyous time where the shadows of winter disappear, and the atmosphere is filled with laughter and happiness. The memories created during the summer season are so cherished that even when the season ends, the memories remain.
The song reflects on the importance of living in the moment and savoring those brief moments of happiness. The swimming hole, kids fishing, and boats drifting down the bend, are all reminders of the sweet innocence of childhood that we cherish forever. The last lines 'if it ends, the memories will stay' is a reminder that time is fleeting, but memories last a lifetime. Hence, the song embodies nostalgia of summer memories that will always live on.
