Here Comes Summer
Jerry Keller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
School is out, oh, happy day
Here comes summer
I'm gonna grab my girl and run away
Here comes summer
We'll go swimmin' every day
And let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home
It gives me more time to see my girl
Walks through the park 'neath the shiny moon
When we kiss, she makes my flattop curl
It's summer
I feel her lips so close to mine
Here comes summer
When we meet our hearts entwine
It's the greatest
Let's have summer all the time
Oh, let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home
Here comes summer (here comes summer)
Almost June the sun is bright
Here comes summer (here comes summer)
Drive-in movies every night
(Double features) double features
Lots more time to hold her tight
So let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home
Well, I've a long to hold my girl beside me
Sit by the lake 'til one or two
Go for a drive in the summer moonlight
Dream of a love, the whole night through
It's summer
She'll be with me every day
Here comes summer
Meet the gang at Joe's Cafe
If she's willing
We'll go steady right away
Oh, let the sun shine bright on my happy summer home
(Oh, let the sun shine bright)
Here comes summer time at last!

I am 70. I was 9 years old when this song came out in 1959. I had an older sister who collected records. The last day of school I would come home and play this song over and over. I remember this like it was yesterday.
