Summers In The Sun - 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
