SUMMER OF LOVE

It was a summer day, a long hot summer day, not in '69 I met a girl on the beach with a tan of golden brown hair and long hair We fell in love, she was a gift from the salty air I couldn't imagine the day she would leave my life Oh God, my love is like ice cream The summer sunshine melts it away I'm so stupid, was it a dream? It's a bitter memory Summer of love Not only love, but everything I do has gone like this (Why's that?) So many, many shitty things, I don't have the thing I really love I say I don't mind, but I really just pretend not to care Life is long, so I can't cry all the time Oh God, my love is like ice cream The Summer sunshine melts it away I'm so stupid, was it a dream? It's a bitter memory Summer of love Summer of love, summer of love, summer of love, oh yeah Summer of love, summer of love, summer of love, oh yeah
