歐洲英國歌手［海倫．霍夫納］＆華人天后［王靖雯／王菲］的交集──流行搖滾曲──［Summer of Love／愛的夏季］

Written by Hoffner / Burton

Well Monday morning out of bed

I drag a comb across my head

Heard whispers from the avenues

Saying "C'mon gal, take a day off school"

The things you do when you are young

Candy came and turned me on

With a Beatles revolution song

Had a smoke and shared a joke

And said we'd drive down to the coast

The things you do when you are young

Well we cruised down town in a blue sedan

With the top rolled back as the sun beat down

And the pretty boys on the promenade

Shouted "C'mon girl, cos here we are"

Angel

It's the summer of love

And I feel on fire

In the heavens above yeah

my spirit is flying

It's the summer of love

And young hearts will always run free

The things you do when you are young

So we walk the beach for an hour or two

Just looking cool nothing else to do

Warm winds brushed against our face

Like an angel's kiss it's left no trace

The things you do when you are young

As the storm cloud breaks across the bay

The surf-board kings have had their day

And Candy said "I've got a great idea

Let's get the car and drive out of here

Angel

Chorus:

The things you do when you are young

Well we cruised down town in a blue sedan

With the top rolled back as the sun beat down

And the pretty boys on the promenade

Shouted "C'mon girls cos here we are"

Angel

Chorus:

It's the summer of love

And my whole world's turning

In the heavens above yeah

my spirit is burning

It's the summer of love

And young hearts will always run free

Chorus
