Summer Again

I woke up today
Feeling so down
Even the cat
Would not come around

The light in the window
Was dingy and gray
I thought I'll just pass
On this cold, dreary day

I fell back to dreaming
Of warm summer days
And nights lit by starlight
For dancing away

Or just sitting and talking
To a friend, maybe two
That's when I remembered
Someone special, that's you

I guess I just smiled
Cause the cat's come around
He just seems to know
I'm on the rebound
