Take me back to the lazy days of summer
Cause the lazy days of summer sure were nice
I'd spend days as a boy just dreaming
Planning and scheming all my life
And there are days I dream of summer, Lord
'Cause I can't go back
Oh, how I wish I could
You'll find while lookin' back on life
Your lazy days are gone for good
My life meanwhile, man don't she fly
From daydreams of high school
Most friends move on, but an old familiar song
Strikes a memory of the way it used to be
And there are days I dream of summer, Lord
'Cause I can't go back
Dear God, I wish I could
You'll find while lookin' back on life
Your lazy days are gone for good
And there are days I dream of summer, Lord
'Cause I can't go back
Oh, how I wish I could
You'll find while lookin' back on life
Those lazy days are gone for good
Gone for good, Lord
How I wish I could go back
How I wish I could
How I wish I could go back, Lord
Lord, I wish I could
