Like burning embers on my hands
All these riches seem to fade from what I've made
Like clouds that shade my thoughts today
I've seen the days go by, I don't know why
All of this inside my head is failing me this time
It must be the way you move me into your light
It's gotta be alright
Summertime, please come back one more time
Summertime, I've got you on my mind, oh, oh, oh
Like shards of doubt inside my brain
Looking around, I can't believe that this is me
The light that reveals what I've saved
To give it up or give away was my old way
All of this inside my head is failing me this time
It must be the way you move me into your light
It's gotta be alright
Summertime, please come back one more time
Summertime, I've got you on my mind
Summertime, please come back one more time
Summertime, I've got you on my mind
Don't go (don't go), don't go (don't go)
Don't go (don't go) away
Don't go (don't go), don't go (don't go)
Don't go (don't go) away
Summertime, you've gotta stay
