Lyrics

I was in your presence for an hour or so
 Or was it a day? I truly don't know
 Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low
 By that soft and shining sea
 Do you respect me for what I did
 Or for what I didn't do, or for keeping it hid?
 Did I lose my mind when I tried to get rid
 Of everything you see?
 In the summertime (summertime), ah-a in the summertime
 In the summertime (summertime), when you were with me
 I got the heart and you got the blood
 We cut through iron and we cut through mud
 Then came the warnin' that was before the flood
 That set everybody free
 Fools they made a mock of sin
 Our loyalty they tried to win
 You were closer to me than my next of kin
 But they didn't want to know or see
 In the summertime (summertime), ah-a, in the summertime
 In the summertime (summertime), when you were with me
 ♪
 Oh, they made a mock of things
 Better changes, unless the table their
 All that sufferers not to be compared
 With the glory that is to be
 And I'm still carrying the gift you gave
 It's a part of me now, it's been cherished and saved
 It'll be with me unto the grave
 And then unto eternity
 In the summertime (summertime, ooh, summertime)
 (Summertime, summertime) when you were with me
 In the summertime (summertime, ooh, summertime), oh, yeah, in the summertime
 In the summertime (summertime) when you were with me
