Lyric

A Summer's Dream

Kaori MUKAI

Dry out those tears

It don't matter

Don't look back

Leave it all behind

Take the key

And our favorite songs

And bring nothing else

But you and me

Let's drive into the city lights

Under the clear, starlit sky

Where we don’t have to

Fake our smiles

Feel my heart, and feel it burn

Feel it leap over the walls

Between my dream and reality

(Beyond the street)

I don't know where to go

Or where to look

(Beyond the town)

Let’s run, run to the land

That never sleeps

(Beyond the world where we are)

Drive into the night, you and me

Through to paradise

Swing your body

And count the stars in the sky

Pull the roof back

And feel the warm breeze

On your cheeks

Let’s go far, far, far away

A Summer's Dream

Shining red, green, yellow

Passing by all colors of life

I can't stop, I'm on a ride

Along the sea

Over the mountain

Where is the place

That I'm looking for?

(Beyond the street)

I don't know where to go

Or where to look

(Beyond the town)

Let’s run, run to the land

That never sleeps

(Beyond the world where we are)

Dream into the night, you and me

Through to paradise

Sing a sad song together

And laugh all the way

Keep on driving in the wind

And let it blow our tears dry

Let’s go far, far, far away

Just you and me

Drive into the night, you and me

Through to paradise

Swing your body

And count the stars in the sky

Pull the roof back

And feel the warm breeze

On your cheeks

Let’s go far, far, far away

Far away!

Dream into the night, you and me

Through to paradise

Sing a sad song together

And laugh all the way

Keep on driving in the wind

And let it blow our tears dry

Let’s go far, far, far away

Just you and me

    A Summer's Dream

    Kaori MUKAI

With the afterglow of summer in the air, I just keep driving past the city lights chasing the warm breeze in the night. This is a new song released by Kaori for those who wish summer never ends.

Based off the feel of "Japanese City Pop", which is undergoing a global revival, the song welcomes Indonesian jazz pianist and drummer, giving it a more multicultural city pop sound. We recommend that you to add this song to your late summer playlist.

Music by Kaori Mukai

Arranged by Roberto J., Kaori Mukai
