It might be an up-beat pop tune from the sixties, or a country music song — or both. It’s an old-fashioned love song. Listen to some for me.

Remember the lessons from the 12 days of Christmas: believe, light a candle, ring a bell, laugh, and give the gift of love.

What makes a song a summer song? Maybe it’s just the word “summer” in the song’s title. Or perhaps the tune evokes thoughts of islands, beaches, bikinis, and barbeques.
