The morning of a hot summer I spent alone, in my room. Watching the clouds go by, I felt the heat of a summer noon.
I took out my beloved guitar to strum a song or two. The wait was getting agonising Until, finally, the arrival of you.
Bridge 1: But when I sleep at night I feel that fright coming back to me...
Chorus 1: A dream, it's only a dream, you say So I open my eyes and hold on to you The summer sky is far away But I can fly high if you want me to.
[Instrumental Break]
Chorus 2: Enchantment lives within my dreams When I close my eyes you can let go of me The summer sky in my dreams Is locked and chained without you as my key.
When I wake up you would calm me and tell me everything is fine. You would coo and sing that lullaby About the summer sky.
Bridge 2: So when I sleep at night and feel that fright I know you're there with me...
Chorus 3: A dream, it's only a dream, you'd say So I'd open my eyes and hold you so tight The summer sky is closer today Because you've lent me your angelic flight.

If you've read this lyric before you would know I did some major editing to it. In fact, I've only retained the choruses (and even those have been changed) and wrote new verses to this song. I quite like the new song, I've always felt some displeasure at the previous version of Summer Sky, because when I wrote it I had intended it to be translated (and it has! the translated version is Natsu no Sora) and not sung in english. This version is more singable, and probably makes more sense than the half poem half lyric thing that used to be Summer Sky... If you want to see what the previous version looked like, check out the translation of Natsu no Sora.
