Summer Love
Eric Benét Feat. India Benét Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna go back there, yeah
Summer loving
I remember falling once upon my history
Sun was shining
You were in a hurry but nowhere that ya had to be
Until we felt the magic grow
That's when my summer came alive
But seasons come and seasons go
Tender kisses underneath the moonlight
Softly on your brown skin
Making wishes, plans to spend our whole life
Knowing that this time would end
And like the temperature outside
Our feelings and emotions rose
I dreamed I'd take you as my bride
But soon the autumn winds would blow
My summer love
I'm searching for you
Our time was only for a season
My heart remains true, yeah
I remember walking on the boardwalk
Beaming from just holding hands
We were running in between the raindrops
Innocence that couldn't last
I close my eyes when I'm alone
And travel back to way back then, yes I do
And like no other lover known
You make me feel alive again
My summer love, yeah
I'm searching for you
Our time was only for a season
My heart remains true
My summer love
I'm lost without you, yeah
So many years have past between us
I'm still your love fool, yeah
Take me away from this life
To places where you end up mine
Can we go back to the best time of our lives?
My summer love
Girl, I still love you, yes I do
Our time was only for a season
My heart remains true, I'll be true just for you
My summer love
I'm lost without you, oh I'm lost baby
So many years have past between us
I'm still your love fool, ooh yeah
Summer loving, wish we could've made it last
Summer loving, would you please come back to me again?
Summer loving, wish we could've made it last
Summer loving, would you please come back to me again?
