Inspiration
After an especially rainy, windy winter and spring in her home state of Washington, Dana found herself longing for the warmth and sunshine of summer. While out running in her raincoat on yet another blustery April day, she was inspired to write a song celebrating the promise of sunny, fun-filled days ahead. Memories of all the fun activities she and her family have enjoyed every summer came flooding back, and Dana felt like the song wrote itself!
Song Lyrics
BRING ON SUMMER
By Dana Cohenour ©2023
We saved a snowball in the freezer, now we wanna put our swimsuits on
We’re feeling good and ready for the winter to be gone
It was tons of fun playing in the snow
But it’s time for the sleds and skis to go
Bring on summer
Let the sunshine shine on down
Bring on summer
Bring on the beachballs, bring on the sunscreen, bring on the ice cream
Bring on summer
Pumpin’ up the tires, yeah we’re ready to ride a bike
Packin’ a backpack, we’ll be off to take a hike
Let’s light a campfire and toast s’mores
C’mon everybody, let’s get outdoors
Bring on summer
Let the sunshine shine on down
Bring on summer
Bring on the baseball, bring on the pool, bring on the watermelon
Bring on summer
Hangin’ in a hammock, relaxin’ in the shade
Playin’ in the park, drinkin’ lots of lemonade
Time to jump outta school and into the pool
Even though it’s hot, summer days are cool
Bring on summer
Let the sunshine shine on down
Bring on summer
Bring on the picnics, bring on the kites, bring on the zoo! (Let’s go!)
Bring on summer
We’ll make every day a vacation, woo hoo hoo
There are tons of fun, fun, fun things we’re gonna do, woo hoooooo
Bring on summer
Let the sunshine shine on down
Bring on summer
Bring on the beachballs, bring on the sunscreen, bring on the playground
Bring on the carousel, bring on the fireworks, bring on the ice cream!
Bring on summer
