Magic Summertime Lyrics - Eleni Mandell

It was just like a dream when we first got together, 

How our lips, like a match, lit a fire. 

I knew, in my heart, it would not last forever, 

But forever is a long, long time. 

What a day! What a life! I always love the weather, 

When it's too hot to think. And I try 

A taste -- just a sip -- your sweet, sweet kiss, 

Like a nice, cold drink you've fortified. 

Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo coooo, 

Magic summertime! 

It was just like I imagined, when we first met, 

How our fingers became intertwined. 

I knew, in my heart, that our chances were slim, 

But a gambler never gambles to be wise. 

Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo coooo, 

Magic summertime! 

Autumn is volatile and winter is cruel. 

Spring can be tragical, but summertime is magical. 

(There's an 18-second instrumental segment here.) 

It was just like a fairytale, when we were introduced, 

How our eyes, like a flash, filled with light. 

And I knew, in my heart, we would both avoid the truth, 

But our cover-up was heaven for a while. 

Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo coooo, 

Magic summertime! 

Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo, 

Magic summertime! 

Coo-coo coooo, coo-coo, 

Magic summertime!
