When I Think Of You
Leif Garrett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I think of you
I think of sunny days in June
Warm, nice and tender
The sun in your heart

When I think of you
I think of dancin' in the street
Feelin' every beat
Of the good summer fun

Summer's ending
When he left
You left too
Now there's nothing to do
But wait for the summer
Wait for the summer
And you

When I think of you
I remember when the kissed
The radio was playin' a song for two

When I think of you
I think of running on the beach
Passing through the heat
And the sand on our feet





I gotta wait for the summer and you

Overall Meaning

The song "When I Think of You" by Leif Garrett is a nostalgic and romantic ode to a past summer love. The first verse paints a picture of sunny, warm days in June associated with the person he is thinking of. There is a sense of tenderness and happiness associated with this person and the memories of spending time with them. The second verse brings up the memory of dancing in the street and feeling the beat of the music. The sense of carefree summer fun is palpable.


The chorus then shifts into a melancholic tone, acknowledging that summer has ended and the person he is thinking of has left. The mention of waiting for the summer and for that person seems to imply that he is hopeful for a reunion or a rekindling of their romance. The bridge of the song recalls a moment of intimacy, when they shared a kiss and a song played on the radio. The final verse brings up the image of running on the beach, feeling the heat and the sand on their feet. The overall mood of the song is wistful, but tinged with hope and a longing for a past love.

Beautiful song written by my good friend James Williams. He has a gold record hanging on his wall since this song was on Lief's album.
