Love in June
The Wannadies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love in June
Stay forever
Yeah, yellow hair
I love you
My summer girl
I've been sleeping, wasting time
I was dreaming you were mine
I fumbled and we fell...in love
She was an angel from above
So unaffected and so free
Hey - Hello May
Love in June
Stay forever
Yeah, yellow hair
I love you
My summer girl
Always staying with the sun,
And keep the cold away
Like a glass of heated rum
It's Sunday every day - oh yeah
But it's written in the sand
Wherever summer goes I land
Hey - Hello May
Love in June
Stay forever
Yeah, yellow hair
I love you
My summer girl (x4)
Hey ooh ooh ooh
Hey ooh ooh ooh
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
My summer girl

Spending time idly without any productive activity
And making lots of plans
Thinking about the future and what can be done
I was dreaming you were mine
Imagining a future where the loved one is a part of his life
I fumbled and we fell...in love
An unexpected occurrence led to the development of feelings between the two
She was an angel from above

Always staying with the sun,
Preferring to be in warmer climates and following the sun
And keep the cold away
Avoiding activities or places that might expose one to cold weather
Like a glass of heated rum
Felt warm and inviting like a hot beverage
It's Sunday every day - oh yeah
Feeling contented and carefree every day
But it's written in the sand
The transient nature of summer and the memories that come with it
Wherever summer goes I land
Following the season of summer and all the good things it brings
Hey ooh ooh ooh
Vocalisation to express emotion
Hey ooh ooh ooh
Vocalisation to express emotion
Yeah ooh ooh ooh
