Hold me gently before you go,
This summer sweetness.
I just want you to know –
That, darling, you're the best.

My light dress on tonight,
Spinning in the sunset, 'neath the starlight's glow.
My hair tied back, so casually,
Shoes off, I'm feeling so alive.

Oh my God, I feel it in the air,
Fireflies above us shimmer like dreams.
My sunshine, I'm just melting, feel it everywhere,
And nothing scares me anymore. (One, two, three, four)

Hold me gently before you go,
This summer sweetness.
I just want you to know –
That, darling, you're the best.

Got that summertime, summertime joy,
Su-su-summertime, summertime dream.
Got that summertime, summertime magic,
Oh, oh, oh.

Feeling warm tonight,
Cruising down the coast, doing ninety-nine.
My love beside me, like a guardian angel,
I know, if I go, I'll sleep with a smile.

Oh my God, I feel it in the air,
Fireflies above us shimmer like dreams.
My sunshine, I'm just melting, feel it everywhere,
And nothing scares me anymore. (One, two, three, four)

Hold me gently before you go,
This summer sweetness.
I just want you to know –
That, darling, you're the best.

Got that summertime, summertime joy,
Su-su-summertime, summertime dream.
Got that summertime, summertime magic,
Oh, oh, oh.

Think I'll remember you forever,
Like wildflowers greet the sun in the morning sky.
Together we're better than we've ever been,
Even if you're gone, I'm gonna dream (dream).
Dream.
Got that summertime, summertime joy,
Su-su-summertime, summertime dream.
Got that summertime, summertime magic,
Oh, oh, oh.

Hold me gently before you go,
This summer sweetness.
I just want you to know –
That, darling, you're the best.

Got that summertime, summertime joy,
Su-su-summertime, summertime dream.
Got that summertime, summertime magic,
Oh, oh, oh.
