Summers In The Sun — текст песни (Nana Mouskouri)

I remember clearly
Childhood days I treasured dearly
Memories remind me
Of all the happiness behind me
Children on a see-saw
Throwing pebbles by the seashore
I remember still a meadow on a hill
Where once I used to run
In summers in the sun

But oh, they didn` t last
Those days went much too fast
And now I miss them so
Where did the time all go

I recall the good times
Those sentimental sandalwood times
Holidays and high days
Winter nights and warm july days
And I wonder why now
I never see a butterfly now
Waste too many hours
No time to smell the flowers
Or taste the gentle fun
Of summers in the sun

Oh no, they didn`t last
Those days went much too fast
And now I miss them so
Where did the time go

Sadly as the time goes
We lose the innnocence a child know
I remember so well
The simple wonder of a sea shell
Catching fish in wild streams
And dreaming dreams
That every child dreams
Life was simple then
They` ll never come again
I miss them every one
Those summers in the sun
