Song Lyrics

I was walking around on Sunday morning
A summer breeze was in the dawnin'
And those smells--summer smelled great to me
Those are the kind of smells that I wait all year for
Summer's so beautiful to me, I like 'em all but

Listen to this summer morning

Those big trees are up there
By the side of the road, they're lining the road
The sun is comin' up over 'em, and those trees are dark and cool still
The ground is still wet
The smell of the pollen and flowers
The breeze is so neat, so sweet
Bees buzzin' and flies not yet flyin', well there're little nits nittin'
and gnats gnattin'

See, I was just
I was just walking around on a summer morning
Bop-she-bop-she-bop-hey-hey
Enjoying the breeze and these smells of the dawnin'
Bop-she-bop-she-bop-hey-hey
As the sun rose above the trees
So wet, still, and cool in the morning breeze

I love the life so on summer mornings
Bop-she-bop-she-bop-hey-hey
These smells make me feel so fine
Bop-she-bop-she-bop-hey-hey
You know, when the sun rise above the trees
They still cool, they still dark in the morning breeze

These smells, they're so good
Bop-she-bop-she-bop-hey-hey
This summer is so fine
Bop-she-bop-she-bop-hey-hey
When the sun does rise above the trees
When they're still cool and shady in the breeze
One more time, I'm talkin' of
When the sun it rises above the trees
When they're still, wet, and dark in the morning breeze
