Just today I was remembering my favorite season It was the summer of new-found reason In my life When I'm low sometimes Look back into the sunny days And the melody my memory plays It is the sweetest sound I ever The sweetest sound I ever heard At the time all of these people thought that we were idealists But who has time for realists In summertime When my life gangs up on me I think of sunny days And the melody my memory plays It is the sweetest sound I ever The sweetest sound I ever heard Gratitude Not only for my favorite season But for the feelings that color the reason In my mind When I'm low I can always go Back to the sunny days And the melody my memory plays It is the sweetest sound I ever The sweetest sound I ever heard It is the sweetest sound I ever The sweetest sound I ever heard It brings me the sweetest sound I ever heard
