"Summer of Love"

I know I'm not alone when I say that I want that crazy summer love that seems way too good to be true in these songs.  But the crazy thing about songwriting is it doesn't have to necessarily be your truth, just someones.  Well, besides the fact that I am a die-hard Nicholas Sparks fan, I still want the brilliance in this song, just so I could write one like it!  The simplicity and open-end of this song is perfection.  I think this should be a single.  Be sure to listen for Jimi Westbrook's, of Little Big Town, amazing background vocals.

Song: "Summer of Love"


The summer wind was blowin' cold,
But our hearts were still on fire.
The harvest moon was takin' over,
And the long days growin' in time

"Kiss me one more time," you said
"Kiss me so I won't forget,
So I can have this feeling even when you're gone"

I remember how time stood still and how you made me feel
Like you were mine forever, lying there together, that summer of love
Tangled up in a big blue sky, like we could almost fly
And every now and then I wonder if you think about us
And that summer of love, that summer of love

Now and then I get that feeling,
And it pulls me back again.
Back to the night when you were leavin',
Prayin' it would never end.

"Kiss me one more time," you said
"Kiss me like you won't forget it,
Didn't wanna let go, just kept holdin' on

I remember how time stood still and how you made me feel
Like you were mine forever, lying there together, that summer of love
Tangled up in a big blue sky, like we could almost fly
And every now and then I wonder if you think about us
And that summer of love, yeah

The summer wind was blowin' cold,
But our hearts were still on fire.

I remember how time stood still and how you made me feel
Like you were mine forever, lying there together, that summer of love
Tangled up in a big blue sky, like we could almost fly
And every now and then I can't stop thinkin' 'bout us
And that summer of love, that summer of love
