Open up a summer's day
The air is clear its late in May
I get up and I go down
Summer laid its blanket out before us
Wonder if my father saw us
I get up and I go down
A Summer evening in the town
In the laneway there is fun
Falling out into yourself
And then I turn around
And I see you finding out
Is this love for keeps?
You are on my mind and I cannot sleep
DA DAD DAD DA
We stay up
We were talking
I cant remember the things we said
To each other
You are falling into me
I was loving you from that very moment
An early house or somewhere else
Around the town again
All those things to me were said
And the beat goes on and on
And then comes the loveliest dawn
And its getting brighter still
And the room begins to fill
Oh my love I had almost lost the fight
You were right
Its so bright
You were right
Its so bright
Its so bright
Its so bright
And you said oh stop wishing on those stars
You are perfect the way you are
X 4
How I noticed everything
All the lashes on the tree
Open up a summers day
It was late or early May
Oh my love
Waiting for the world
To be bright
How the fire burned x3
