Some of the happiest days are when the sun rays cascade

Over your back in the most naturally placid of ways

You don't have to ask whether perhaps it'll rain

And the centigrade never strays past twenty eight

It's fantastically great kicking back with your mates

And knowing no, you don't have to act to your age

You can snack on a Flake or take a basket of cakes

But make sure you've got some factor eight splashed on your face

And the ladies make daisies attached in a chain

While the lads entertain them with a basketball game

And then after we're knackered and the match has been played

Grab a glass of lemonade and relax in the shade

We'll bask and just laze in the grass's green blades

And sit back and just gaze at the paths of the planes

Nothing matters today, you can chatter and play

Playful antics under blankets of immaculate haze

Once upon a summer

The sun plays across the lawn

Once upon a summer

The air is sweet and warm

Once upon a summer

Heavenly and calm

Once upon a summer

It's never been this fun

It's ace when you're tipsy and playing with a frisbee

There ain't been better days in the pages of history

And though your hay fever itches and makes you be sniffly

It's blatantly plain that you'll savour and miss these

Great times when they're gone, days lying in the sun

Bathing, misbehaving and playfighting for fun

They might have been some of the days of your life that you'll always

Be reminded of when your time to pass away finally comes

And as the day becomes night and the sun goes down

The shadows grow slow and cloak round your home town

There's no sound but the bees and the birds

And slowly but certainly the season returns

You turn down to the ground and there's leaves on the earth

Turning brown and allowing the trees to rebirth

There's a breeze in the air and it breathes through your hair

And that's it - summer leaves for the year

Summer's come and gone

The day's no longer young

Summer's come and gone

But the memory lives on
