SUMMER
David Hasselhoff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can hear the raindrops on my window pane
(Got a guilty conscience)
And my thoughts are drivin' me insane
I have a cold, cold, cold feelin'
Things will never be the same
I'm lonely and I'm frozen
You're gone
You made the summer go away
You made the summer go away too soon
And, baby, now my heart feels hollow deep inside
Like an empty room
You made the summer go away
And now I'm wishing for the sunshine every day
But there's nothin' I can do
Nothin' I can say
You made the summer go away (made the summer go away)
You made the summer go away (made the summer go away)
I can hear the snowman bangin' on my door
(I can tell he's angry)
From the cold breeze on my wooden floor (wooden floor)
I got a bad, bad, bad feeling
Winter stays for good this time
I'm lonely and I'm frozen
'Cause you're gone
You're gone
You made the summer go away, yeah
You made the summer go away too soon
And, baby, now my heart feels hollow deep inside
Like an empty room
You made the summer go away
And now I'm wishing for the sunshine every day
But there's nothin' I can do
Nothin' I can say
You made the summer go away
Why did I have to give in to temptation?
Should've run, not engaged conversation
I was lost, I was wrong, I was stupid
If I could turn back time
If I could turn back time
You made the summer go away
You made the summer go away too soon
And, baby, now my heart feels hollow deep inside
Like an empty room
You made the summer go away
And now I'm wishing for the sunshine every day
But there's nothin' I can do
Nothin' I can say
You made the summer go away
There's nothin' I can do
There's nothin' I can say
Baby, you made the summer go away

The music, along with the lyrics, paints a picture of an icy and desolate world where the singer feels cold, lonely, and frozen without their loved one. The person they lost is represented throughout the song as an important and beloved figure.

While we love hoff in America the debut of his singing was cancelled out due to IJ and his crap coverage of his white car. Germans love hoff and his music. It was all due to bad timing. I love blumchen and know alot of her work. She's awesome but unfortunutly hoff had bad timing. I know it's a little late for this post but blumchen is one of my favorite international singers.

С юности в восторге от Blümchen. Считаю её очень красивой женщиной и прекрасной певицей. Спасибо =)

I have seen a video with David singing on youtube. I was really surprised because he already had a real singer talent. Mixing the both great voice and generation is one of the best original idea you got guys. Keep surprised us again. We love it we share it. :)
