School got out
|
And summer arrived
|
We kicked things off with a water fight
|
There we were
|
Just a moment in time
|
Looking back
|
It was the time of our lives
|
It was a summer made of dreams
|
And it had just begun
|
Sunrise woke me with a beautiful song
|
A brand new day in a beautiful world
|
Ran through the backyard¡¯s cool morning shadows
|
My friends next door would meet me by the wall
|
Our lives as free as a fantasy
|
Wide awake in a dream
|
|
It was the summer of fun
|
And you know that¡¯s what we had
|
It was the summer to which
|
I will always look back
|
We were kids growing up
|
Walking a straight path
|
Having the times of our lives
|
In the summer of ¡¯89
|
|
The doors to my dad¡¯s store closed for good
|
Filled the fridge with candy
|
Who drank all the Yoo-hoo
|
Sang along to Pirate Radio
|
Pretended I was a DJ as I taped the songs
|
I still laugh thinking when my cousin said, ¡°Women are all like snakes¡±
|
|
We packed our bags and flew to Washington
|
My cousin¡¯s wedding, family reunion
|
Another plane, we¡¯re off to Montreal
|
Road trip with Zou Zou to Niagara Falls
|
Richard Marx woke us to, ¡°Right Here Waiting For You¡±
|
|
It was the summer of fun
|
And you know that¡¯s what we had
|
It was the summer to which
|
I will always look back
|
We were kids growing up
|
Walking a straight path
|
Having the times of our lives
|
In the summer of ¡¯89
|
|
I remember the late night barbeques
|
Spin the bottle in the family room
|
Picking peaches from our yard of fruits
|
You sang La Bamba and I yelled ¡°Shut Up!¡±
|
Tied a string to a beetle, watched it fly like a kite
|
I liked to tape record everyday life
|
|
It was the summer of fun
|
And you know that¡¯s what we had
|
It was the summer to which
|
I will always look back
|
We were kids growing up
|
Walking a straight path
|
Having the times of our lives
|
In the summer of ¡¯89
