Dawn draws near – time flies quietly
Soft warm glow close by
I lie here quite still – it's a thrill

She – who sleeps alongside
A stranger last week is part of my life
I look at her with just one single sheet for cover
Sunlight plays above her
Will she stay and share some double summer?

Life never tires of great surprises
Love may have touched us here
And summer's in the air – everywhere

She seems very like me
The longer we spoke the more I could see
That if we were to join our forces
And combine resources
We could share the summer and enjoy its deeper secrets

Life never tires of great surprises
Love may have touched us here with something we'll share

And sometimes I hear distant thunder
Troubles bubbling under – and I start to worry
Maybe she will crush my concerns so they scatter like dust
Not a thing in this world would be stronger than us
If she said that she'd stay
I'd forever more treasure her trust – for that's enough

But maybe these are flights of fancy
When she wakes she'll leave me
Then I see her watching – and she's smiling

Life has the strangest way of saying
Love will occur here now

Here goes double summer – share it with one another
Here goes
Here goes
