G      Em Am7
There's

  D      G    Em Am7
A summer place

      D      G       Am7
Where it may rain or storm,

D        G        Am7
Yet, I'm safe and warm

D       G  Em Am7
For within

     D      G     Em Am7
That summer place

     D          G      Am7  D
Your arms reach out to me

       G        Am7  D        G    Em Am7
And my heart is free from all care

D      G     Em Am7 D
For it knows
[Chorus]
          G         D
There are no gloomy skies,

     Em               Bm
When seen through the eyes,

   Em            Am7           D7
Of those who are blessed, with love
[Verse 2]
               G      Em Am7
And the sweet, secret of

  D      G     Em Am7
A summer place

   D         G  Am7
Is that it's anywhere,

D        G      Am7
When two people share,

D         G     Em Am7
All their hopes

D         G      Em Am7
All their dreams

D         G   G7
All their love.

A summer place

   D         G  Am7
Is that it's anywhere,

When two people share,

All their hopes
