Lyrics for Love Is Lighter Than Air

Summer, summer, summer Slowly turned into fall Me and my baby doll Never went to the beach Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere Was a place we could run On the sand with the sun Always just out of reach Somewhere sunny summer's Marching to a different drummer, singing "Summer, summer, summer's Gonna turn into fall You and your baby doll Better go to the beach 'cause (C): Love is lighter than air It floats away if you let go Love is ligher than air It rises through the falling snow" A crime, crime, crime Sin and illness is time Neither reason nore rhyme Can obstruct his bad dance The nasty little swine Slipped us mickeys in wine Wove his hair into twine And then tied our hands We're forced to watch him wriggle And endure his fulsome giggle and his Mime, mime, mime Unforgivable mime Our one chance is to climb Into blimps of romance 'cause (C) (C)
