You'll Never See That Summertime Again 04:58

Nothing else will ever feel the same You’ll never see that summertime again Now it’s just a picture in a frame You’ll never see that summertime again When we were young We spent each summer here Those days in the sun Could never disappear So hold onto this And everything can change One final kiss Before the sunlight fades Nothing else will ever feel the same You’ll never see that summertime again A pile of stones to show that we were here It won’t be there when you go back next year I will return The blue of the sky and the sun in your eyes When the crowds have gone The chill in the air and the wind in your hair Look for you there and you’re everywhere Three weeks have gone I never saw them pass You still linger on We’ll make this drink the last And goodbye to you My very special friend I’ll miss you too We’ll never meet again Nothing else will ever feel the same You’ll never see that summertime again A photograph to show that you and I Are hand in hand as long as we’re alive Long live tonight Watching you laugh as I lie in the grass Slowly fading light Making me smile like an innocent child Open my eyes and you’re filling the sky A paradise on earth when time stood still Has never come again and never will Nothing else will ever feel the same You’ll never see that summertime again A memory that’s coloured blue and gold A souvenir for when I’m tired and old Nothing else will ever feel the same You’ll never see that summertime again Try as I would Kissing goodbye through the tears in your eyes It’s gone for good Making it last but it’s fading so fast I should have asked but the moment had passed Wherever you go I’ll be missing you so Whatever I do I’ll be thinking of you Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd

This Is The Start 03:53
lyrics

This is the start of a beautiful friendship Don’t worry will it last, forget about the past This is the start of another adventure Don’t try to see the end, the time ahead is ours to spend I look at things today In a different kind of way I’ll tell you all I’ve heard And tomorrow there’s a whole new World there outside Roads leading worldwide Suddenly it’s real And I only hope you feel what I can feel This is the start of a day to remember I know because I know, my instinct tells me so This is the start of a glorious summer Enjoy it while we can, and don’t forget where we began Disappear from out of view And I could soon believe that I was dreaming, simply dreaming Suddenly the vision clears And I can see you standing in the sun This is the start of a brilliant morning The burning sky is clear, the future goes from here This is the start, where the blossom is falling It’s one day at a time, we’ll find what only we can find This is the start of a magical journey With only you and me, we’re travelling for free This is the start of a shimmering highway We’ll follow where it goes The way the river flows Whichever way the breezes blow Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd

Into The Sun 03:00
lyrics

You climb so high to the top of the sky And you end up flying It’s cool up there with the wind in your hair And it’s easy gliding There’s no fear of falling Can I hear you calling to the ground? Into the sun See you flying into the sun Into the sun Closer to the heat of the sun And then you rest a while from a million miles On the astral highway The view’s so clear and you love it up here On a solar driveway Here the rain is frozen Here the cool breeze blows into your face Into the sun Watch you all the way to the sun Into the sun See you heading into the sun You are my blue sky eyes Watch for the trail of aeroplanes Search for the blaze of shattering stars Will you reach out I know you’re travelling far You’re out of here in the white stratosphere And you’re on your way now Light years on and the memory’s gone Of your earthbound days now I can see you soaring Can you hear me call out of the past? Into the sun See you climbing into the sun Into the sun Closer to the heat of the sun You are my blue sky eyes Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd

Beautiful To Me (acoustic version) 05:01
lyrics
buy track
The music that you play, that song you’re always singing And everything you say, it’s beautiful to me The poems that you wrote, the pictures that you painted The letters that you send, are beautiful to me Everywhere I look I see you all around The sunlight and the dark, your face in every crowd The sudden moves you make, as though you’re always dancing The smile that’s on your face, it’s beautiful to me The funny things you say, your very strange expressions To hear them every day, is beautiful to me The way you cut your hair, I’ve still seen nothing like it The crazy things you wear, are beautiful to me And when you’re not around, I feel you in my dreams And often talk aloud, to hear if you reply Clear enough to see that everything about you Is beautiful to me, I have to tell you so Hard to disagree, can be no doubt about it I try to make you see, you’re beautiful to me Everywhere you go it feels that I could follow As though I’d always known where every road would lead Strange how things have gone, it’s funny how it happened Whoever could have told what’s beautiful to me? And all around the house, to hear the sound of laughter And even when you cry, it’s music in the air December to July, I’ve seen you in all weathers And frozen or ablaze, you’re beautiful to me To see and touch and taste, you fill my senses high And how you call my name that makes me feel so fine The way you fill the space, the way the light surrounds you Your shadow on the lawn is beautiful to me Clear enough to see that everything about you Is beautiful to me, I have to tell you so Hard to disagree, can be no doubt about it I try to make you see, you’re beautiful to me Clear enough to see, you might as well believe it You’re beautiful to me, I’ll tell you one more time Easy to explain, I can’t deny my feelings I’ll say it once again, you’re beautiful to me Written by William Jones Published by Summerhouse Music Ltd

about

A newly-recorded version of the band's most popular song, which originally appeared on their second album Roads Leading Everywhere.

It's a driving, melodic celebration of summer, tempered with nostalgia for holiday adventures and romances, with a chorus which will hook itself into your memory until at least next year. The song is the band's most-requested and most-broadcast, and this is the first time it has been available as a single.

This Is The Start is the equally upbeat opener of Beautiful You, and Into The Sun takes a whimsical look at travel in space and time, with the band augmented by a sumptuous string quartet arrangement.

The set is completed by an acoustic version of Beautiful To Me, recorded in a single take by singer and guitarist William Jones.
