Liner Notes

Hmmm...a song with "Summer" in the title. [Checks notes--muses] Yeah, this one's gonna have to be "Beach Boys-esque". Anything "Summer" or "Moon" that passes through Jerry's tiny mind just HAS to be "Beach Boys-esque". And so it is...!

I hope you enjoy the song!

WHISPERS OF SUMMER

In the glow of July’s ember,
WHISPERS OF SUMMER,
do you remember?
Barefoot dreams
and midnight wishes,
Lost in the haze,
sweet fleeting kisses.

We danced in storms,
no thought of tomorrow,
Chased the lightning,
outran sorrow.
In the storm's eye,
in the silence it brought,
We found what we sought,
or maybe we thought.

CHORUS:
But oh, how the summer sang,
Of love's fleeting song,
so sweet it rang.
The WHISPERS OF SUMMER,
they knew all along,
Youth and love...
like summer, gone.

The heat of your hand,
a fading echo,
In the cool night,
where did we go?
Promises written in the sand,
Washed away,
nothing went as planned.

Could we hold onto
a bolt of light?
Keep the day from
turning into night?
In the WHISPERS OF SUMMER,
we found our song,
But summer nights,
they don't last long.

CHORUS:
But oh, how the summer sang,
Of love's fleeting song,
so sweet it rang.
The WHISPERS OF SUMMER,
they knew all along,
Youth and love...
like summer, gone.

In the WHISPERS OF SUMMER,
do you recall?
The beauty of youth,
destined to fall.
But oh, in those moments,
how brightly we shone,
Like summer lightning,
here and then gone.

CHORUS:
But oh, how the summer sang,
Of love's fleeting song,
so sweet it rang.
The WHISPERS OF SUMMER,
they knew all along,
Youth and love...
like summer, gone.
