A Summer Full of Love is a heartfelt acoustic folk ballad written for a female voice in the spirit of 1960s singer-songwriters. With poetic lyrics, soft guitar melodies, and vivid nature imagery, the song tells the story of a fleeting but unforgettable summer romance. Through five tender verses, three instrumental interludes, and a reflective chorus, the narrator looks back on a love that blossomed under the sun and faded with the changing seasons. From carefree days in wild meadows to quiet nights beneath starlit skies, the song captures both the joy of connection and the ache of letting go. Though time has passed, the memory lingers—woven into the landscape and held in every note. Its tone is nostalgic, intimate, and emotionally rich, evoking the timeless warmth of a love that, though brief, changed everything. Perfect for acoustic performance, the song invites the listener to feel, remember, and dream.

🎶 "A Summer Full of Love" – Full Lyrics

[Intro – Spoken softly]
I still remember the days when the wind carried his name…
And the sunlight painted golden paths just for us.

[Instrumental A – Acoustic Guitar & Violin]

[Verse 1]
I met him where the meadow meets the sky,
With daisies dancing and time drifting by.
His smile was quiet, his hands were kind,
And he spoke like a breeze through the pines.
We carved our names in the old oak tree,
And whispered dreams where no one could see.

[Chorus]
Oh, the sun was high and the world stood still,
Hearts on fire on that golden hill.
With every laugh, with every touch,
We learned that love could be enough.
Through songs and stars and skies above—
That was a summer full of love.

[Verse 2]
He played old tunes on a worn guitar,
Underneath the hush of a silver star.
Barefoot nights with tangled hair,
Soft confessions in the lavender air.
We danced on roads we’d never known,
And made the wild fields feel like home.

[Instrumental B – Flute & Guitar]

[Chorus]
Oh, the sun was high and the world stood still,
Hearts on fire on that golden hill.
With every laugh, with every touch,
We learned that love could be enough.
Through songs and stars and skies above—
That was a summer full of love.

[Bridge]
But summer fades like a lullaby,
And sometimes love must say goodbye.
He left with the wind one crimson dawn,
But somehow, his light still lingers on.

[Verse 4 – New]
The apples turned red on the orchard trees,
While silence crept in on the evening breeze.
We packed our hopes in an old wool coat,
And kissed beneath a sky remote.
He smiled like he already knew,
That summer's magic would slip through.

[Verse 5]
Now I walk where the wildflowers bloom,
Still humming his song in the soft afternoon.
The oak tree leans where we once lay,
And the breeze still knows what we used to say.
Though the years have softened the flame,
In my heart, it burns the same.

[Instrumental C – Guitar & Soft Cello]

[Final Chorus]
Oh, the sun was high and the world stood still,
Hearts on fire on that golden hill.
With every laugh, with every touch,
We learned that love could be enough.
And though the years keep drifting above—
I had a summer full of love.

[Outro – Spoken gently]
Some loves don’t last forever…
But they live in every song we sing.
