Summer Begs

Somewhere someone's sleeping

Somewhere someone's weeping

Somewhere someone's listening

To the sound of a record spinning

Sing me to me now

Right out your window

Your father'd be proud

Now that it's simple

But don't sing too loud

You'll wake up the neighbors

And they will complain

So I must persuade them

Hold it right there

I don't want to move

Summer it begs

It begs us to prove

That we can last

Just one more season

That there gives me a reason

Secrets are for keeping

That's what gives them their meaning

It's their certain proclamation

And it needs no explanation

I for one am willing

To stay here until you're willing

Maybe you're not ready

To handle something steady
