Summer Days
David Cassidy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I just close my eyes and I trace
The footpath to your daddy's summer place
Where we spent our early summer days
The hill we climbed that went on forever
We reached the top of the world together
High above all time and space and I remember summer days
When you gave your love to me and I remember perfectly
High above all time and space and I remember summer days
Come climb that hill again with me; come live that love again with me
Baby, baby, baby, baby; hold my hand and we'll be free; said we'll be
Free
Yeah, you gave your love to me and I remember perfectly
High above all time and space and I remember summer days
When you gave your love to me and I remember perfectly
High above all time and space and I remember summer days
[Fade]
Yeah, you gave your love to me and I remember perfectly
High above all time and space and I remember summer days
When you gave your love to me and I remember perfectly
High above all time and space and I remember summer days
