Magic Summertime

It was just like a dream when we first got together, How our lips, like a match, lit a fire. I knew, in my heart, it would not last forever, But forever is a long, long time. What a day! What a life! I always love the weather, When it's too hot to think. And I try A taste —-- just a sip —-- your sweet, sweet kiss, Like a nice, cold drink you've fortified. Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo coooo, Magic summertime! It was just like I imagined, when we first met, How our fingers became intertwined. I knew, in my heart, that our chances were slim, But a gambler never gambles to be wise. Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo coooo, Magic summertime! Autumn is volatile and winter is cruel. Spring can be tragical, but summertime is magical. (There's an 18-second instrumental segment here.) It was just like a fairytale, when we were introduced, How our eyes, like a flash, filled with light. And I knew, in my heart, we would both avoid the truth, But our cover-up was heaven for a while. Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo coooo, Magic summertime! Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo, Magic summertime! Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo, Magic summertime!
