A demo of one I wrote in 2003 that I just rediscovered! Spent some time re-learning and producing yesterday . . .

When Summer Is Here
  by Paula Pohan and Jack Foster III 2021

Looking out at falling rain
kind of water-logs my brain
puts me in a dark and dreary mood
and now I have a snuffly nose
all fingers cold; so are my toes
too cold to go outside and get some food

This weather is affecting me
dark and listless tapestry
There has to be a change around the bend
Summer’s not too far away
I'm looking forward to the day
My dreariness will finally reach its end

When Summer is here
We’ll have ourselves a party
Seems the summer daylight never ends
but in the stillness of the evenings
stars above will have you dreaming
they twinkle for you like the best of friends

June's a time for celebration
Every dad’s a king
Caps and gowns and graduation
Wedding vows and rings
When the air begins to warm
We fall under the Summer's charms
In a key that everyone can sing

When Summer is here
We’ll have ourselves a party
Seems the daylight never ends
then the stillness of the evenings
the stars above will have you dreaming
they twinkle with you like the best of friends

July calls us to her side
Our eyes like sparklers open wide
To watch the fireworks as they descend
Lazy afternoons are perfect
For a walk along the beach
Nights are meant for savoring
Like a Summer Peach

When August roars and rears her head
The heat will drive you from your bed
To spend your evening on the balcony
Sipping iced wine
feeling so fine
the dream is life and life's a reverie

When Summer is here
We’ll have ourselves a party
Seems the summer daylight never ends
then the stillness of the evenings
stars above will have you dreaming
they twinkle with you like the best of friends

September hails the end
Of Summer days and Summer friends
with hugs goodbye we go our separate ways
But we will not forget the reason
We celebrate this glorious season
When we have seen the last of our Summer days
But we’ll never see the last of Summer days

When Summer is here
We'll have ourselves a party
Summer memories never fade away
