Open Up, Summertime
Open Up, Summertime.
Lemme see that old sun shine.
He’s an old friend of mine.
Only he can make me whole,
Warm up my summer soul.
Open up, cloudy day.
Chase those mother-fuckin’ clouds away.
Chase ‘em far away.
And drop me in a sunny spot.
I’d rather be hot than not.
When I was small
It was no fair at all’
When a cloudy day
Took away my play.
Then the summer sun
Would finally come
Peekn’ through
And the sky turned blue.
And now, even though I’m 6 feet tall
In the summertime I feel I haven’t grown up at all.
(Chorus again)
Birds in the trees
Singing those melodies
From another place
With amazing grace.
And your lover true
Next to you
On a starry night
When the moon shines bright.
And now, even though I’m 6 feet tall
In the summertime I feel I haven’t grown up at all.
