Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro – lyrical strings, delicate bouzouki, warm acoustic guitar]
[Verse 1 – warm expressive male tenor]
The house was warm, the windows wide,
You left your sandals just outside.
We had no plans beyond the shore,
I never asked for any more.
[Chorus – broad flowing melody, gentle natural vibrato]
Thank you for that summer,
For the love we had back then.
If I could live those days once more,
I'd choose you once again.
[Instrumental Break – memorable string melody, soft backing harmonies]
[Verse 2]
Your studies took you far away,
I found a job and chose to stay.
We lost touch as the years went by,
And still those days can make me smile.
[Chorus – expressive male voice, fuller strings]
Thank you for that summer,
For the love we had back then.
If I could live those days once more,
I'd choose you once again.
[Instrumental Interlude – lyrical bouzouki and strings, gentle rhythmic pulse]
[Bridge – intimate male voice, sparse accompaniment]
I hope you found the life you wanted,
Someone to love you as you are.
[Final Chorus – soaring rounded tenor, full orchestra, soft backing harmonies]
Thank you for that summer,
For the love we had back then.
If I could live those days once more,
I'd choose you once again.
Thank you for that summer,
For the love we had back then.
If I could live those days once more,
I'd choose you once again.
[Outro – softly sung]
Thank you for that summer…
I'd choose you once again.
[Instrumental Outro – strings and acoustic guitar, gentle ending]
[Verse 1 – warm expressive male tenor]
The house was warm, the windows wide,
You left your sandals just outside.
We had no plans beyond the shore,
I never asked for any more.
[Chorus – broad flowing melody, gentle natural vibrato]
Thank you for that summer,
For the love we had back then.
If I could live those days once more,
I'd choose you once again.
[Instrumental Break – memorable string melody, soft backing harmonies]
[Verse 2]
Your studies took you far away,
I found a job and chose to stay.
We lost touch as the years went by,
And still those days can make me smile.

Thank you for that summer,
For the love we had back then.
If I could live those days once more,
I'd choose you once again.

I'd choose you once again.

Thank you for that summer…
I'd choose you once again.

Style of Music
1970s Mediterranean romantic orchestral pop, 100 BPM, 4/4. Solo male high lyrical tenor with a warm rounded core, bright slightly nasal resonance, gentle head-voice lift and expressive natural vibrato. Clear English diction, smooth legato, open sustained vowels and tender phrasing. Intimate verses opening into a broad soaring chorus without strain. Rhythmic acoustic guitar, delicate bouzouki accents, warm melodic bass, light live drums, subtle tambourine, sweeping strings and soft wordless backing harmonies. An original memorable instrumental melody introduces the song and returns between verses. Bittersweet gratitude for a youthful summer romance. Simple flowing chorus, natural word stress and breathing space. Lyrical string-and-bouzouki interlude, quiet bridge, fuller final chorus and gentle orchestral ending. Warm spacious vintage studio sound. No shouting, piercing falsetto, harsh rasp, excessive vocal runs or modern EDM production.
