This is the summer Of Love 
Tonight the fiesta will come 
It's the Summer Of Love 

Tonight we live La Vida Loca 
Yes We'll have the time of our lives 
The fiesta we'll always remember 
Tonight we will taste paradise 

Life is sweet and we treasure each moment 
Moving closely with me as we sway 
For tonight we forget our tomorrows 
It's time for the music to play 

The temperature's rising 
You' search the horizon 
And there's not a cloud in the sky 

So Dance it's the summer of Love 
Tonight the fiesta will come 
One hundred degrees 
In the shade of the trees 
One more time 
Tonight is the night of our lives 
De Fruta La Vida that's right 
One hundred degrees 
And we turn up the heat one more time 
For the summer of Love 

The night is when friends become lovers 
And people are lost in their dreams 
Tomorrow the spell may be broken 
So celebrate love and be free 

The rhythm of life beats within you 
Don't try to resist when it calls 
Move closer to me feel the music 
Now nothing else maters at all 

The temperature's rising 
You search the horizon 
And there's not a cloud in the sky 

So dance it's the summer of love 
Tonight the fiesta will come 
One Hundred degrees 
In the shade of the trees 
One more time 
Tonight is the night of our lives 
De Fruta La Vida that's right 
One hundred degrees 
And we turn up the heat 
One more time 
For the summer of love 

Now we dance in the moonlight 
And I see the love in your eyes 
Look to the stars make a wish 
Don't try to resist 
It's the summer of Love 

Tonight is the night of our lives 
De Fruta La Vida that's right 
One hundred degrees 
And we turn up the heat 
One More time 
For the summer of love
