Summer Rain
Slinkee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Summer Rain
Whispering our goodbyes
Waiting for the train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I can hear him saying:
"Nothing will change,
come dance with me baby
in the summer rain"
I remember the rain on his skin
And his kisses hotter than the San An winds
Whispering our goodbyes
Waiting for the train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I remember laughing till we almost cried
There at the station that night
I remember looking in his eyes
Oh my love its you that I dream of
Oh my love, since that day
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain
doesn't matter what I do now
doesn't matter what I say
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain
Ooooh summer
I can hear the whistle
Departing the train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I can hear him saying,
"Ooh love is strange,
come dance with me baby,
in the summer rain"
I remember the rain pouring down
And we poured our hearts out as the train pulled out
I can see my baby waving from the train
It was the last time that I saw him
In the summer rain
Oh my love its you that I dream of
Oh my love, since that day
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain
Doesn't matter what I do now
Doesn't matter what I say
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain
Ooooh summer
Every time I see the lightning
Every time I hear the thunder
Every time I close the window
When this happens in the summer
Oh the night is so inviting
I can feel that you are so close
I can feel you when the wind blows,
Blows right through my heart
Oh my love its you that I dream of
Oh my love, since that day
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain
Every night and everyday now
Though I know you've gone away




Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

They dance in the summer rain while he tells her that nothing will change. The singer remembers the rain on his skin and his kisses that were hotter than the San An winds.

These ladies are genuinely nice people. I had them in my taxi just after they released this song. They were delightful and autographed their cd for my newborn daughter. I still have that cd and my little girl is 17. Best wishes!

@stephen6279

I love the original, but props to Slinkee Minx, I remember being at Uni in 2005 and couldn't go anywhere and not hear this song playing.

@Pangdoodoo

I remember dancing to this in 2004 in the University of Sydney bar but it's been so long i cant even remember the name of the bar. good times!

@vicvictor1872

OK, I first must say that this version of the song rocks! Belinda Carlisle, who originally recorded this single, said that this is one of her favorite songs that she recorded in her career. I love her version and I love this version, I’m a professional dancer and this one takes it to another level (when it comes to dancing), once again, both recordings are fantastic...!👍🏼

@harjinderchaggar4513

Wow never never seen or heard this version of belinda's song, absolutely Incredible, knocked my socks off. Dedicated to Pam!

@ozstyl

This song was big as I finished year 12. So many good memories.

@dimmingstar

okay but this cover's great! it's not the original but still catchy af <3 also the nostalgia is still so strong ..

@sfrenato

Although Belinda Carlysle original is rather impossible to improve, this version is pleasant, well produced and sung; in particular I like a lot the countermelody in second and third refrain (Ooooh my love 1:48-1:50; and even nicer that "Since I care" 1:51-1:53) that are new and not part of original version. Well done girls, hopefully this won't stay your only charts appearance!
