“Citrus Summer”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am7
Underneath the orange glow,
Dm7
We found our tempo slow,
G
In the heart of citrus summer,
Em
And the secrets we’d uncover.
(Chorus)
C
Oh, the Citrus Summer,
G
Living life in bittersweet wonder,
Am
In the tangy air, and whispering breeze,
F
We were wild, we were free.
(Verse 2)
Am7
Tangerine dreams and lemon sunbeams,
Dm7
In your eyes, I found my serene,
G
On this citrus painted scene,
Em
We were young, we were keen.
(Chorus)
C
Oh, the Citrus Summer,
G
Drenched in hues, no room for somber,
Am
In the golden light, our hearts took flight,
F
In the Citrus Summer’s night.
(Outro)
C
Oh, the Citrus Summer,
G
Its aroma lingers, a perpetual hummer,
Am
A melody so sweet and pure,
F
Our Citrus Summer, forever endure.
