Jewel of the Summertime

When I was 18 I didn't know pain when the sun was high

Burnt face, shadow's erased and I knew I'd be alright

Left that behind me, uh-huh

Somethin' blinded me, uh-huh

You’re reminding me, uh-huh

Of a better space and time, miles away

The jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summer-time

A jewel of the summertime

A jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summer-time

When I turned 21 I saw the sun pulling out of sight

All that I met were dark silhouette's stumbling in the night

Then we collided, uh-huh

And I finally, uh-huh

Got a light on me, uh-huh

Now I'm bathing in the bright ultraviolet rays

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summer-time

A jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summer-time

Time, time

I left that behind me, uh-huh

But somethin' blinded me, uh-huh

You're reminding me, uh-huh

Of a better space and time, miles away

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

A jewel of the summer-time

A jewel of the summertime

A jewel of the summertime

A jewel of the summer-time

A jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

A jewel of the summer-time

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summer-time
