about

I loved Stevie B back in the late 80s and early 90s. Before revamping his classic "Spring Love (Come Back to Me)" track, I actually contacted him and got his approved to launch my own project.

This song was written and performed with my wife in mind. She's been with me through some rough times and together, we made the decision to give our lives to Christ. She's my best friend.

lyrics

Intro
I'm gonna sing this song for my wife
Thirteen years and she's still with me...in spite of me
Get my 'Stevie B' on
Watch this...
(* clear my throat*)

Pre-chorus
Summertime love is on my mind, and I won't forget
The way we share, the way we care, and I don't regret

Half-chorus
Summer Love: girl I'm with you
Summer Love: I promise to stay true


Verse 1
Thinkin' on the day we stood together; said, "I do"
We had no clue of what God was up to
Long days and nights spent together,
Couldn't seperate the two of us, in any type of weather
Blissful (blissful); marriage as fine as wine
Girl I belonged to you, and you were all mine
Played the roll; gave up total control,
A part of me wanted to stay this way, 'til we're old

But then my selfish ambition had me wishin' for the game
Takin' it back, 'cause things ain't the same
Flirtin' with the devil kept my mind unfurled, and I forgot
Baby you were my world
Left you alone while I roamed from home,
You entertained your own lust, creepin' on the phone
Seven years later, and we came undone
We turned away from it all, and gave it all to the Son; JESUS!


Chorus
Summer Love: baby stay with me
(My baby, stay with me)
Summer Love: I promise you will see
(I promise you will see)
Summer Love: girl I'm with you
(I'm with you)
Summer Love: I promise to stay true
(To you, I will be true)


Verse 2
Summer love's not a season, but a state of mind
"Cause real love is so hard to find
Let alone keep; don't sleep
Gotta put in the work brother, seven days a week
Remind her how much you care;
Come hell or high water, you're always there
Put your big boy pants on; show emotion
What she needs is love and devotion

"Song of Songs" is the lovers' delight
Get your bible read on; learn to treat your girl right, man
Take a stand; remember the wedding bands;
remind her of safety in your strong hands
A three-fold chord is hard to break
Get the Lord in your marriage; do whatever it takes
Take her way back to when love was true
Summer Love makes old love, new

about

Ennis (Bro. E) Smith Lincoln Park, Michigan

Writing devotionals, short stories and articles for the Lord is a passion of mine. But I also love the rhythm of a deep kick drum, tight snares, and harmonic melodies laced together to form a hip hop track. So, it was only a matter of time before I put the two passions together, to make my own sound.

Making music glorifying God, brings me joy.
