Bb F

[Verse 1]

Got a message on the phone today

All they had to say

My summertime it had gone away

Make room for the winter it will be okay

But when the sun goes down

It turns my smile to a frown

I can’t stop spinnin all around

I wanna fall to the ground

As we waitin’ for the sweet summertime

Yes it’s so sublime

Grab the tequila don’t forget the lime

Put your name on my bottle so I know you’re mine

As we waitin’ for the sweet summertime

Yes it’s so sublime

Grab the tequila don’t forget the lime

Put your name on my bottle...

Hear the reggae music and you feel okay

And when you’re in the sweet sunshine

When you see that sign

Feel the rays of the sun on your face

And you know that you’ll be just fine

I found a message in the bottle I don’t know if it’s mine

And now I’m searching for the meaning looking in between the lines

While I’m reading every letter and I’m staring at the sign

Searching for a piece of that sweet summertime

I wanna be it, wanna believe it

I wanna open up my eyes I wanna see it

I wanna feel it in my soul, heart, body, and mind

I wanna get up for that sweet summertime

As we waitin’ for the sweet summertime

Yes it’s so sublime

Grab the tequila don’t forget the lime

Put your name on my bottle so I know you’re mine

As we waitin’ for the sweet summertime

Yes it’s so sublime

Grab the tequila don’t forget the lime

Put your name on my bottle...
