Connie Dover The Summer Before The War Lyrics

The Summer Before The War Lyrics

All on a Saturday, bright as a bell
Early and just for the ride
We took a
trip, cycling down to the sea
You, and your lady, and I.

And oh, what
a summer
And oh, what a sun
Right to the blue sky it clung.
One day at
Whitson
The sea had the shore
The summer before the War.

Warm
summer places, where you could taste the country air
Chasing our shadows,
we'd fly
Down through the narrow lanes, racing the slow trains
And the
last of an age going by.

And we had a good time
And we had some
fun
There was time then when we were all young.
One day at Whitson
The
sea had the shore
The summer before the War.

Young hearts and young
souls
Young minds to unfold
Knowing the untold, somehow.
One day at
Whitson
The sea had the shore
The summer before the War.

We found
a small cove, by the sand and the water
The salt air was brushing your
skin.
With your hand in her hand, there was nothing to say,
Just watch
the sea rushing in.

And oh, what a moment
And oh, what a day
We
held it and it never slipped away.
One day at Whitson
The sea had the
shore
The summer before the War.

One day at Whitson
The sea had
the shore
The summer before the War.
