Name: One Summer
Duration: P00H04M57S
Description: Based around a bass line I used to play as a youngster, decades ago ! I found some chords I liked that fitted around it , and now ,many many years later, wrote this simple song about summers long past, and how I always enjoyed them as a child, when the world was full of possibilities. It has a nice " floaty " feel to it, which I think compliments the lyrics.

Based around a bass line I used to play as a youngster, decades ago ! I found some chords I liked that fitted around it , and now ,many many years later, wrote this simple song about summers long past, and how I always enjoyed them as a child, when the world was full of possibilities. It has a nice " floaty " feel to it, which I think compliments the lyrics.

lyrics

Wasn't that a summer to remember ?
Whoa yeah, whoa yeah..
We were young and life stretched out forever..
Whoa yeah, whoa yeah..

You were just a boy..
She was just a girl..
You thought you had it all..
Maybe you did..

The sun it seemed much stronger then,
The days they seemed much longer then,
Endless possibilities,
Only till they end..
The sun it seemed much stronger then,
The days they seemed much longer then,
Endless possibilities,
Only till they end..
Only till they end..
Only till they end..

You were just a boy..
She was just a girl..
You thought you had it all..
Maybe you did..

The sun it seemed much stronger then,
The days they seemed much longer then,
Endless possibilities,
Only till they end..
The sun it seemed much stronger then,
The days they seemed much longer then,
Endless possibilities,
Only till they end..
Only till they end..
Only till they end..

But wasn't that a summer to remember ?
Whoa yeah, whoa yeah..
