Summertime; when the air is sweet and days get hotter
The kids come out to play with everyone
Cooling off in the chilly, fresh water
A lady sits outside and enjoys a tea-conversation with her granddaughter
Because spending time with family is always fun
Summertime; when the air is sweet and days get hotter
As the kids played tag they saw an otter
They screamed and shouted and began to run
Cooling off in the chilly, fresh water
A father plays ball for hours with his daughter
Of course, what’s expected; the daughter won
Summertime; when the air is sweet and days get hotter
As a boy rides his bike, he passes an artist; a potter
He almost crashed because the artwork was stun-
ning, Cooling off in the chilly, fresh water
The children are dizzy from running around and begin to stotter
These summertime days will always be remembered being alive in the sun
Summertime; when the air is sweet and days get hotter
Cooling off in the chilly, fresh water
