We Love Sweden in September Verse 1 This summer we went to Sweden, With our caravan to roam. We stayed in lovely Läckeby, A place that feels like home. We’d been there many times before, And yes, it was the same. Our campsite looked out to the sea, So peaceful and so calm again. Chorus Oh, we love Sweden in September, The air is fresh and clear. The children all are back at school, And quiet days are here. Oh, we love Sweden in September, The forests, sea and sky. It is the perfect time of year, And that is why we sigh. Verse 2 We drove by car to Mönsterås, Along the winding road. The scenery was beautiful, With fields and trees that glowed. In Strömsrum stands the ancient oak, So proud and tall and free. I wish those old trees could tell us all The things they’ve come to see. Chorus Oh, we love Sweden in September, The air is fresh and clear. The children all are back at school, And quiet days are here. Oh, we love Sweden in September, The forests, sea and sky. It is the perfect time of year, And that is why we sigh. Verse 3 We often went to Öland, Across the bridge so long. The island has such lovely beaches, And birds that sing their song. The Alvaret lies in the middle, A wild and open land, With flowers, rocks and walking paths, So beautiful and grand. Chorus Oh, we love Sweden in September, The air is fresh and clear. The children all are back at school, And quiet days are here. Oh, we love Sweden in September, The forests, sea and sky. It is the perfect time of year, And that is why we sigh. Verse 4h The Swedish people that we met Were friendly, calm and kind. Our dogs loved all the walks we took, With sea and woods to find. And I must say I loved to see The Volvos and the Saabs. They seemed to fit the Swedish roads, Like old and faithful friends. Final Chorus Oh, we love Sweden in September, The air is fresh and clear. The children all are back at school, And quiet days are here. Oh, we love Sweden in September, The forests, sea and sky. We hope that we’ll return again, To Sweden by and by.
