It was not a Summer Dream

[Intro] [Ocean waves, distant seagulls, tropical guitar harmonics, airy pads, soft finger snaps, breathy vocal hums, gentle vinyl texture] It doesn't matter where love finds your heart, (mm... your heart...) Just throw your hands up. (hey...) 'Cause love is real tonight, baby. (tonight... ooh...) [Verse 1] [Warm Rhodes piano, tropical guitar, soft marimba, silky bass, intimate breathy female lead] Mira told me when we were young, (when we were young...) "Your heart will find its place." (its place...) She smiled and brushed my hair aside, (mmm...) Said, "Never hide your face." (don't hide...) "There's nothing wrong with who you are, (who you are...) Or how your story grows. (it grows...) Hold your head up, girl, keep shining bright, (shine...) And let the whole world know." (they'll know...) [Pre-Chorus] [Soft percussion, layered whisper harmonies, airy falsetto doubles, rising pads] I'm beautiful my own way, every step has led me here. (right here...) I'm on the right road, baby, I've got nothing left to fear. (no fear...) Don't hide yourself in silence, let your truth become your flame. (burn...) I'm on the right road, baby, I'll never be ashamed. (never...) [Chorus] [Full Tropical R&B groove, lush harmonies, shimmering synths, dreamy vocal stacks] Ooh, it's not a summer dream, (not a dream...) Baby, this is real love. (real love...) Baby, this is real love. (mm...) Ooh, it's not a summer dream, (summer dream...) When I disappear inside her eyes. (inside your eyes...) Right here, baby, this is real love. (stay with me...) It's not a dream that fades away, (never fades...) It's where my heart was meant to stay. (with you...) Two girls shining in the light, (shine...) Our love has every right. (every right...) [Verse 2] [Tropical guitar, warm synth bass, crisp rim clicks, airy vocal textures] Walking slowly by the sea, (by the sea...) Golden sunlight on the waves. (golden light...) She reached softly for my hand, (hold me...) And my heart began to race. (heartbeat...) Some remember yesterday, (yesterday...) When they thought they knew my name. (they knew...) But the woman standing here today (today...) Has always felt the same. (always...) [Pre-Chorus] [Dreamy harmonies, soft snaps, shimmering pads, delicate falsetto] If I lose myself inside her eyes, (inside her eyes...) That's not a passing fantasy. (no fantasy...) It's the safest place I've ever known, (my home...) Exactly where I'm meant to be. (with you...) [Chorus] [Smooth Tropical R&B chorus, lush harmonies, glossy pop production] Ooh, it's not a summer dream, (not a dream...) Baby, this is real love. (real love...) Baby, this is real love. (ooh...) Ooh, it's not a summer dream, (summer dream...) When I disappear inside her eyes. (inside your eyes...) Right here, baby, this is real love. (forever...) It's not a dream that fades away, (never fades...) It's where my heart was meant to stay. (stay...) Two girls shining in the light, (shine...) Our love has every right. (every right...) [Bridge] [Beat strips back, Rhodes piano, lush choir pads, airy harmonies, intimate falsetto] Whether your journey has just begun, (come closer...) Or you've searched beneath the sun. (beneath the sun...) Whether you've had to find your voice, (your voice...) Or fight to make your truest choice. (be free...) I'm a woman, standing proud, (standing proud...) No more hiding in the crowd. (no more...) Now another girl holds my hand, (hold my hand...) And together here we stand. (together...) No apology, no disguise, (no disguise...) Only truth within our eyes. (our eyes...) If the whole world watches us, (let them watch...) Love is always more than enough. (enough...) [Final Chorus] [Full vocal stacks, airy falsetto layers, shimmering synth lift, emotional finale] I'm beautiful my own way, every step has brought me here. (I'm here...) I'm on the right road, baby, I've got nothing left to fear. (no fear...) When I disappear inside her eyes, (inside her eyes...) I know exactly why. (I know...) It's not a summer dream, (not a dream...) It's real, pure love. (pure love...) And it has every right to exist. (always...) Ooh, it's not a summer dream, (summer dream...) Baby, this is real love. (real love...) Baby, this is real love. (mm...) Two girls underneath the summer sky, (summer sky...) No more asking "why." (why...) [Outro] [Ocean waves, tropical guitar, soft humming, airy vocal layers fading into the breeze] Ooh... there is no other way. (no other way...) Love is brighter every day. (every day...) Losing myself inside her eyes, (inside her eyes...) Isn't fantasy in disguise. (it's real...) It's real. (real...) It's pure. (pure...) It's our love. (our love...) And it belongs. (belongs... fades into the ocean...)
