[00:15.74]I was in your presence for an hour or so
[00:19.85]Or was it a day? I truly dont know.
[00:22.72]
[00:23.67]Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low
[00:27.56]By that soft and shining sea.
[00:29.78]
[00:31.96]Did you respect me for what I did
[00:34.14]
[00:35.42]Or for what I didnt do, or for keeping it hid?
[00:39.09]
[00:40.10]Did I lose my mind when I tried to get rid
[00:43.88]Of everything you see?
[00:45.18]
[00:46.99]In the summertime, ah in the summertime,
[00:54.52]In the summertime when you were with me.
[01:01.09]
[01:18.55]I got the heart and you got the blood,
[01:21.00]
[01:21.92]We cut through iron and we cut through mud.
[01:24.98]
[01:26.23]Then came the warnin that was before the flood
[01:29.81]That set everybody free.
[01:31.74]
[01:33.97]Fools they made a mock of sin,
[01:36.35]
[01:37.89]Our loyalty they tried to win
[01:40.66]
[01:42.08]But you were closer to me than my next of kin
[01:44.87]
[01:45.75]When they didnt want to know or see.
[01:47.95]
[01:48.71]In the summertime, ah in the summertime,
[01:56.16]
[01:56.74]In the summertime when you were with me.
[02:02.97]
[02:20.77]Strangers, they meddled in our affairs,
[02:23.36]
[02:25.00]Poverty and shame was theirs.
[02:28.34]But all that sufferin was not to be compared
[02:30.87]
[02:31.65]With the glory that is to be.
[02:33.78]
[02:36.01]And Im still carrying the gift you gave,
[02:38.54]
[02:39.79]Its a part of me now, its been cherished and saved,
[02:42.41]
[02:43.70]Itll be with me unto the grave
[02:46.00]
[02:47.43]And then unto eternity.
[02:49.40]
[02:50.50]In the summertime, ah in the summertime,
[02:57.45]
[02:58.50]In the summertime when you were with me.
[03:05.82]
