Give Summer A Call

Here Comes The Summer

Let the birds fly,
In the open sky,
Let the stream flow,
Fast and then slow.

Let the rain fall,
Give summer a call,
Let the flowers bloom,
Remove all the gloom.

And let us sing, let the bells ring,
Let the music play, let us all say,
Here comes summer,
Here comes the sun,
Here comes the morning light,
Spread up in the sky so wide.

Let the children play out in the streets,
It's time for a treat... yeah!
Let all the men walk out, let them shout,
It's time to dance fox and trout.

Let the butterfly spread the colors,
Cocoons coming out of his cover!
Let the sweet nightingale sing us to sleep,
Memories and stories to be there to keep!

And Let us all laugh and shout,
Let us jump and run around,
Here comes the summer,
Here comes the sandy street,
Here comes the fresh breeze,
Here comes the time to eat ice creams... yeah!
