[Verse 1]
It's finally summer
So I've been told
But if it's summer
Then why am I so cold?

[Chorus]
This time last summer, baby
I would have been so warm
For I found summer last year, softly, softly
I found summer softly in your arms

[Verse 2]
Some kind of weather
So people say
It's a perfect day
Then why is the sky so grey?

[Chorus]
This time last summer, baby (This time last summer)
The sky would have been so blue (Last summer, baby)
For you loved me last summer, softly, softly
You loved me and softly I loved you

[Bridge]
Now you're gone
And I don't care what the people say
There's no summer there
[Verse 3]
The seasons come
The seasons go
And if it's summer
I would never know

[Chorus]
This time last summer, baby (This time last summer)
The world would have been so gay (Last summer, baby)
But somehow we let summer, softly, softly
Softly we let summer slip away

[Outro]
(Softly, softly)
(Softly)
(Softly, softly)
(Softly)
(Softly, softly)
(Softly)
(Softly, softly)
(Softly)
