The singer misses the love of her summertime. It was hot, but then a chill came and he was gone. Winter is stark and lonely, as she waits. Then sunshine returns. She comes alive and forgets about the past. She worries he may leave again.

Lyrics

My Summertime
(Intro) Oh... Oh...
I. I miss those hot and lazy days.
Made love on satin sheets, ever' which a way.
Gray skies brought a chill to th' air.
Th' sun went down and you weren't there. You weren't there... Oh...
(Turnaround) Oh... Oh...
II. So, what went wrong? Our first embrace.
Felt th' heat, th' tingle spread across my face.
Dark clouds made your love feel like rain.
Please, sunshine, come back again. Back again.
(Chorus)
My summertime, has gone away from me.
My summertime, waitin' faithfully.
Never thought you'd go away, go away, go away.
My summertime. Oh... My summertime. Oh...
III. Th' trees are bare and so am I.
Look like a ghost. Ain't got no twinkle in my eye.
You showed up and I came alive.
Fo'get th' past, our love survives. Love survives.
(Chorus)
My summertime, has come back to me.
My summertime, waited faithfully.
Never think you'll go away, go 'way, go 'way.
My summertime. Oh... My summertime. Oh...
(Tag) My summertime... Don't go away...
I love you. Summertime.
