A Summer Place
The Percy Faith Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a summer place
Where it may rain or storm
Yet I'm safe and warm

For within that summer place
Your arms reach out to me
And my heart is free from all care for it knows
There are no gloomy skies
When seen through the eyes
Of those who are blessed with love

And the sweet secret of
A summer place
Is that it's anywhere

When two people share
All their hopes, all their dreams
All their love

There's a summer place
Where it may rain or storm
Yet I'm safe and warm

In your arms, in your arms




In your arms, in your arms
In your arms, in your arms

Overall Meaning

The Percy Faith Orchestra's A Summer Place is a love song that describes an idyllic retreat where two lovers can escape from the worries of the world and feel safe and warm. The physical location of this place is not specified, but it is clear that it is not immune to the vagaries of weather. The singer acknowledges that it may rain or storm, but this does not trouble them because they are wrapped in the loving arms of their partner, where they feel free from all cares.


The song suggests that love is the key to unlocking the beauty of life. When two people are in love, they can see the world through rose-tinted glasses, and even the gloomiest of skies seem bright and sunny. The lyrics praise the "sweet secret" of a summer place, which is that it does not have to be a specific location; it can be anywhere, as long as two people share their hopes, dreams, and love. The melody is light and airy with full orchestration, invoking a feeling of warmth and happiness, just like the setting it describes.

Don't worry, it made it to TikTok. 😂 No one will remember what it's called or who recorded it, but it will be the background music for countless "POV: You're on the beach and this happens" videos.
