It smelled like junipers
the day that you left
some kind of fairy tale
i didn´t invent

oh, these days
the best that i had
you were summertime
summertime, summertime

the warmth of those lovely days
is still on my skin
oh how those golden rays
it swallowed me in

oh, these days
the best that i had
you are summertime
summertime, summertime

it all fades away
it all fades away

laying in blades of grass
the earth through my feet
bare neck and shoulders
that tasted so sweet

oh, these days
the best that i had
you were summertime
summertime, summertime

and it all fades away
and it all fades away

cold winds and rainy days
have torn us apart
at least that is what we say
the truth would just hurt

oh, these days
the best that i had
you were summertime
summertime, summertime

oh, these days
the best that i had
you were summertime
summertime, summertime
summertime, summertime, summertime
