Songtext Summers in the sun Nana Mouskouri

Summers in the sun

I remember clearly

Childhood days I treasured dearly

Memories remind me

Of all the happiness behind me

Children on a see-saw

Throwing pebbles by the seashore

I remember still a meadow on a hill

Where once I used to run

In summers in the sun

But oh, they didn' t last

Those days went much too fast

And now I miss them so

Where did the time all go

I recall the good times

Those sentimental sandalwood times

Holidays and high days

Winter nights and warm july days

And I wonder why now

I never see a butterfly now

Waste too many hours

No time to smell the flowers

Or taste the gentle fun

Of summers in the sun

Oh no, they didn't last

Those days went much too fast

And now I miss them so

Where did the time go

Sadly as the time goes

We lose the innnocence a child know

I remember so well

The simple wonder of a sea shell

Catching fish in wild streams

And dreaming dreams

That every child dreams

Life was simple then

They' ll never come again

I miss them every one

Those summers in the sun
