Every second has a reason
As the time slides away
Changing with the season
And just throwing in the race
No need to be final
I'll put my thoughts on hold
Daydreams at the water
As the tide ebbs and flows

And it's all okay
I'll take it day by day
This is summertime
There's nothing on my mind
And a man's command
'Cause we forgive and understand
We forget and we deny
We lose and still we try

'Cause we love
'Cause we live
I miss you

Skies blue, wide, and open
Not a shade or trace of gray
And telephone, gas, electric
Unpaid, what can I say
Let us share the silence
What on earth can occur
I'm not looking for commitment
Just give me your word

And it's, and it's all okay
Take it day by day
This is summertime
Nothing on my mind
And man's command / Sunlight
'Cause we forgive and understand / And daylight
We forget and we deny
We lose and still we try

'Cause we love
'Cause we live
I miss you
Oh...'cause we love
We live

Oh, it's all okay
I take it day by day
This is summertime
Nothing on my mind
And man's command
We forgive and understand
We dance into the storm
And keep hurt from our homes

'Cause we are
'Cause we live
I miss you

Oh...it's all okay
The pain's fading away / I miss you
This is summertime
Nothing on my mind
And man's command
We forgive and understand
We forget and we deny
We lose and still we try

'Cause we are
'Cause we live
I miss you
Oh...'cause we love
'Cause we live
Miss you

Oh-oh... / Wo-oh-oh
Lo-lo...  / I miss you
No-no...etc. / Like the moon missed the night
No-no...etc. / So you sing and sigh
You are there / I miss you
I miss you / Don't wanna say good-bye
I miss you / Pure man, pure man
I miss you / Daylight...sunlight
