lyrics

I can still recall December days of snow
And April's unsettled moods not so long ago
The sky was dark, it rained all day
And summer seemed so far away
Now I don't wanna wait no more
I'm coming on over and knock on your door

All I really wanna do
Is to spend this day with you
Now the sun is here to stay
Can you feel it, too?
All I really wanna do
Is to walk out on the beach with you
All I really wanna celebrate
Is the first day of summer

All the clouds moved away, and kids play in the park
The time has finally come, I can feel it in my heart
Now May is over, June is here
And it's my favourite time of year
And I call you on the telephone
I'm coming on over cause summer is here!

All I really wanna do
Is to spend this day with you
Now the sun is here to stay
Can you feel it, too?
Let us swim out on the lake
Like we did so many times before
All I really wanna celebrate
Is the first day of summer

Every moment we spend together
Here on the beach with this beautiful weather
Is making me happy more than words can say

All I really wanna do
Is to spend this day with you
Now the sun is here to stay
Tell me can you feel it, too?
All I really wanna do
Is to walk out on the beach with you
All I really wanna celebrate
Is the first day of summer
