[Verse 1]
Though the sun may be dawning
You're the one that lights the morning
As I awake to the heaven
Of your sweet summer loving
[Verse 2]
By a stream in the country
Running barefoot and feeling free
While the love in our hearts blend
Into sweet summer loving
[Chorus]
Sweet summer loving
In the dandelions
Sweet summer loving
Keeps me high as candy wine
[Verse 3]
When that big red balloon sets
Like a painting across the West
As the sky turns a crimson blue
As the world turns for me and you
[Verse 4]
By the light of the moon glow
While the warm summer wind blows
'Cross the sill of your window
We'll be letting our love flow
[Chorus]
Sweet summer loving
In the dandelions
Sweet summer loving
Keeps me high as candy wine
Sweet summer loving
In the dandelions
Sweet summer loving
Keeps me high as candy wine
[Outro]
Sweet summer loving
Sweet summer loving
Mmm
Sweet summer loving
Mmm
Sweet summer loving
I love your sweet summer loving
Sweet summer loving
Sweet summer loving
Mmm
Sweet summer loving
Mmm
Sweet summer loving
