| Summer loving had me a blast Summer loving happened so fast I met a girl crazy for me Met a boy cute as can be Summer days drifting away to oh Oh the summer nights |
You can see where I’m going with this. Summer, I like to think you would have been crazy for me. Daddy can be the cute boy. |
| Tell me more, tell me more Did you get very far? Tell me more, tell me more Like does he have a car? |
Yep, nearly 20 weeks. Mummy was going to have to buy a new car for her maternity leave with you. |
| She swam by me she got a cramp He ran by me got my suit damp I saved her life she nearly drowned He showed off splashing around Summer sun something’s begun but oh Oh the summer nights |
You gave me cramps, you got my clothes damp! But I saved your life. And you showed off, splashing around on your early scans. |
| Tell me more, tell me more Was it love at first sight? Tell me more, tell me more Did she put up a fight? |
Yes it was. Yes you did, my darling. |
| Took her bowling in the arcade We went strolling, drank lemonade We made out under the dock We stayed out till 10 o’clock Summer fling don’t mean a thing but oh Oh the summer nights |
We didn’t go bowling, we went camping! And mummy drank lots of lemonade, pretending it was gin. Staying out til 10pm was tricky with you making me feel so tired. But it meant everything. |
| Tell me more, tell me more But you don’t gotta brag Tell me more, tell me more Cause he sounds like a drag |
Want to know more? Read this whole blog. Though I dragged her about, she wasn’t a drag, far from it. |
| He got friendly holding my hand She got friendly down in the sand He was sweet just turned eighteen Well she was good, know what I mean Summer heat boy and girl meet but oh Oh the summer nights |
She had just turned 18 weeks when the real trouble began. Oh those painful nights with you, Summer. But you were a good girl. |
| Tell me more, tell me more How much dough did he spend? Tell me more, tell me more Could she get me a friend? |
Daddy bought us four dresses and some trousers. He spent enough to qualify for a free maternity photo shoot. We’ll probably give it to some friends. |
| It turned colder that’s where it ends So I told her we’d still be friends Then we made our true love vow Wonder what she’s doing now |
Your name is Summer, but it feels cold like winter. I will love you always. I wonder about you every day. |
| Summer dreams ripped at the seams but Oh those summer nights |
Sadly, no explanation required. |
💓 not an awful lot to say to this, but it’s a very powerful blog and your love for Summer absolutely shines through xx
