Karl Wolf - Summer Days lyrics

It was a clear summer day in '72

Beirut was the place to do

before the war it was best,

they all rushed down from the west

When violence was nowhere round

my old man was the coolest in town

I'm so glad that he's still around

when he sits me down to say

summer days, summer nights in Beirut

Summer days, summer nights in Beirut

Summer days, summer nights in Beirut

Summer days, summer nights in Beirut

I work my ass off every day and night.

and as I watched my life passing by

there's one thing that saves my youth, summer days summer nights in Beirut

I'm cheating death with every puff I take

just to forget that I'm only great

there's one thing that saves my youth summer days, summer nights in Beirut.

Try to live and struggle our only hope

we were younger, played beside the house

and touched the coal

I know now everyone must fail, before they win

son remember how I used to hold u in the wind

and ever since than I work my ass off every day and night.

and as I watch my life passing by

there's one thing that saves my youth, summer days summer nights in Beirut

I'm cheating death with every puff I take

just to forget that I'm only great

there's one thing that saves my youth summer days, summer nights in Beirut

summer days, summer nights in Beirut

Summer days, summer nights in Beirut

Summer days, summer nights in Beirut

Summer days, summer nights in Beirut
