Summer of Love
Jefferson Airplane · The Music Of Jefferson Airplane [2010]
We were so young and so free
The Summer Of Love that I was a part of
We had so many dreams
And even a few of them came true it seems
I still believe in all the music, whoa and it's still playing
I still believe in all the words, yeah, I'm still saying
I still believe in all the people, ooh, they were really great
And I get to thinking back to where we all once were
The Summer Of Love had special people
Everybody was together so it seemed
The Summer Of Love had lots of changes going down
Looking back's like yesterday
And you can say it all was just a dream
I still remember all the good times
Boy, let me tell ya, we sure had a lotta them
I still remember the world was changing all around us
Oh, I feel like we could do it all again
The Summer Of Love was just the beginning
That's when the light started breaking through
The Summer Of Love is just a memory now
But even though those times are gone
The spirit still goes on in me and you
I still believe in all the music, whoa and it's still playing
I still believe in all the words, yeah, I'm still saying
I still believe in all the people, ooh, they were really great
And I get to thinking back to where we all once were
The Summer Of Love was something special
We were so young and so free
The Summer Of Love that I was a part of
We had so many dreams
And even a few of them came true it seems
Mmm, that Summer of Love
Yeah, that Summer of Love
Sixty-seven was heaven
Summer of Love
