Hey Summer
Chasing Sunsets: Daniel Halaby's Summer Symphony
Lyrics
Next summer always seems so faraway
Anticipation of the upcoming summer always feels distant.
Counting seconds till the hours till the day
Counting moments eagerly, anticipating the arrival of summer.
Next summer we can dance the night away
Expressing the desire to dance the night away in the next summer.
Hey summer when I’m with you I’m alright
Feeling content and happy when spending time with summer.
Time is shorter when you bring your summer light
Time appears to pass quickly when surrounded by the light of summer.
Hey summer when you left you called my name
Feeling a sense of loss and longing when summer departs.
I’m getting tired of being inside all my life
Expressing fatigue and monotony with an indoor life.
I’m getting tired all my life
-Hey summer why’d you chase away the spring
Questioning why summer displaces spring and its vibrant days.
Days are longer when you bring your summer swing
Days seem longer, and life more enjoyable, when summer brings its energy.
Hey summer we can dance away the night
Reiterating the joy of dancing through the night in summer.
Hey summer I have so much more to say
Expressing the feeling of having more to say to summer.
By the hour I can see it’s getting late
Noticing the lateness of the hour, possibly regret for time passing.
Hey summer, I’ll be waiting for the day you return
Expressing anticipation and waiting for the return of summer.
I’m getting tired of being inside all my life
Reiteration of weariness with indoor life.
I’m getting tired all my life

-Is it fickle or is it done
Pondering if the experience is fleeting or permanent.
Save for memories of the sun
Saving memories of the sun as they might be transient.
Bluish purple in the sky
Describing the sky's colors, possibly reflecting on emotions.
Bluish purple in your mind
