From the recording Main Street Song
Lyrics
Main streets blocked off
And the bylaws off doing their own thing tonight
And as we head out
lawn chairs spread out
Gonna have a lil jam on site
Banjo ladies, ukuleles and such versatile guitars
Mamas crazy bout the way we all harmonize
Summertime
Mister bird had shared his words and melodies throughout the week
But every time he sang that tune he just about dang made me weep
Seeing life through others eyes is so beautiful indeed
And like he said, all of these moments won’t ever be the same again
Summertime will end
Summertime will end
Dancing beauty swaying purely round the Sulpher mountain haven
Laughing strangers, taking pictures
On their well deserved vacation
Well I know I’m not quite the type to write a cheery song
But here is one just for you
The sky is blue the trees are green
This day looks like a movie scene
The kind of film that has a happy ending
I know not all days are quite as serene as this one seems to be
But if you take this melody
You’ll find what’s hiding
Behind the clouds there’s always some sun
Summertime,
it’s been fun
Summertime,
It’s been fun
It’s been swell, summertime
