Eleni Mandell Magic Summertime song lyrics

It was just like a dream when we first got together,

How our lips, like a match, lit a fire.

I knew, in my heart, it would not last forever,

But forever is a long, long time.

What a day! What a life! I always love the weather,

When it's too hot to think. And I try

A taste —-- just a sip —-- your sweet, sweet kiss,

Like a nice, cold drink you've fortified.

Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo coooo,

Magic summertime!

It was just like I imagined, when we first met,

How our fingers became intertwined.

I knew, in my heart, that our chances were slim,

But a gambler never gambles to be wise.

Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo coooo,

Magic summertime!

Autumn is volatile and winter is cruel.

Spring can be tragical, but summertime is magical.

(There's an 18-second instrumental segment here.)

It was just like a fairytale, when we were introduced,

How our eyes, like a flash, filled with light.

And I knew, in my heart, we would both avoid the truth,

But our cover-up was heaven for a while.

Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo coooo,

Magic summertime!

Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo,

Magic summertime!

Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo,

Magic summertime!
