Lyrics
SUMMER’S HERE by Martyn Young April 2022
Chorus
Summers here, let's have fun
Cast off those winter blues
The shining sun , the buzzing bees
Just let it soothe your mind
Verse 1
The sky is blue, the air is warm
It brings a smile, to to one and all
The summer's short, the days are long
Take it all, before it's gone
Verse 2
The summer wind, can blow your mind
Take off your shirt, lay in the sun
Forget your work, and feel the warmth
You know it'll be alright
Chorus
Summers here, let's have fun
Cast off those winter blues
The shining sun , the buzzing bees
Just let it soothe your mind
Bridge Verse
On the beach, with sea and sand
Taking it easy, don’t need a plan
The surf is up, the water's cool
And drink another beer
Verse 4
Oh lazy days, when summers here
Too hot to work, have another beer
My shirt is off, my skins all red
Take care, oh the doctors say
Chorus
Summers here, let's have fun
Cast off those winter blues
The shining sun , the buzzing bees
Just let it soothe your mind
Chorus
Summers here, let's have fun
Cast off those winter blues
The shining sun , the buzzing bees
Just let it soothe your mind
Yeah let it soothe your mind
