The touch of her warm skin. The fireworks in her eyes. The taste of strawberry in her kiss. It all combines to take me back to the first time we drove down to that beach. Such incredible summer days. Such magical July nights. The demo was created using AI, but I've got a previous 500 dollar full-band demo and many document files to prove I wrote the music and lyrics. I hope you enjoy this uptempo summertime tune.

Verse 1:
September came and they closed the boardwalk down
Memories made in that barefoot tee-shirt town
You were rocking Jolene at that beachfront dive
Kissing me slow under postcard skies
Never thought that summer would end and the weather would change
Chorus:
Now every time we kiss I taste
Strawberry lips down at the Dairy Queen
And every time you pull me close
I’m feeling a heatwave over me
In your eyes I’m still seeing fireworks
Lighting up a wild night in July
Holding onto you is holding onto summertime
Verse 2:
Flip flops danced in the heat of the afternoon sand
And we worked so hard to earn that Coppertone tan
We were casting our lines off the surfside pier
Igloo filled up with ice cold beers
Not a worry in the world, we were young and so in love
Chorus:
Now every time we kiss I taste
Strawberry lips down at the Dairy Queen
And every time you pull me close
I’m feeling a heatwave over me
In your eyes I’m still seeing fireworks
Lighting up a wild night in July
Holding onto you is holding onto summertime
Bridge:
I feel the temperature climbing every time you’re squeezing my hand
Anytime of year your smile just takes me back again
Chorus:
Now every time we kiss I taste
Strawberry lips down at the Dairy Queen
And every time you pull me close
I’m feeling a heatwave over me
In your eyes I’m still seeing fireworks
Lighting up a wild night in July
Holding onto you is holding onto summertime
Holding on to you is holding onto summertime
