Original Lyrics: You take your coat off and throw it on the floor  Night delivers you to my arms once more  You feel so familiar as you get into bed  Cigarette smoke halo around you head You lean over and kiss me so sweet. oh oh-oh, oh...  I could lay with you like this for hours...  Hours and hours  Building a summer home in your arms I kiss you with the languid admiration of slumber  Landin' random as lotto numbers  One for each eye  And, oops, one on your nose  And ten for each of your cute little toes You lean over and kiss me so sweet. oh oh-oh, oh...  I could lay with you like this for hours...  Hours and hours...  Building a summer home in your arms Am I crazy, do I talk too much?  Sometimes I think your silence is a crutch  Am I mad, are you married?  Ah man, this love stuff can sure be scary  But so sweet... So sweet, here in your arms  I'm a bit of a mess and I'm gone too much  But when I'm away it's you I long to touch  And certain things remind me it's such a special treat  As these little things that bring you to me You lean over and kiss me so sweet. oh oh-oh, oh...  I could lay with you like this for hours...  Hours and hours...  Building a summer home in your arms I'm building a summer home in your arms  I'm building a summer home in your arms  I'm building a summer home in your arms  Built with all your charms Sweet and Wild Lyrics: You take your coat off and throw it on the floor Night delivers you to my arms once more You feel so familiar as you get into bed Cigarette smoke halo around you head You lean over and kiss me so sweet Nobody wake me if this is a dream I’m gonna build myself a summer home Build myself a summer home in your arms I kiss you with the languid admiration of slumber Landin' random as lotto numbers One for each eye And, oops, one on your nose And ten for each of your cute little toes You lean over and kiss me so sweet Nobody wake me if this is a dream I’m gonna build myself a summer home Build myself a summer home in your arms Some people build with stone and brick Some people build with wood and stick But I’m gonna build mine kiss by kiss I’m gonna build myself a summer home Build myself a summer home in your arms I'm a bit of a mess and I'm gone too much But when I'm away it's you I long to touch And certain things remind me it's such a special treat As these little things that bring you to me You lean over and kiss me so sweet Nobody wake me if this is a dream I’m gonna build myself a summer home Build myself a summer home in your arms Build myself a summer home in your arms Built with all your charms

Summer Home in Your Arms Written by Jewel Albums Sweet and Wild, 2010 Length 2:55 “This is an older song and falls in my Pieces Of You category. It's my little brand of folksy, country hard-to-define genre. It has whimsical lyrics, and has a shuffle similar to "You Were Meant For Me." For those hardcores who know this song from bootlegs - it is different. I changed it from waltz time to 4/4, I created a chorus hook by changing chords, and I wrote a sweet bridge (I borrowed some lyric theme from the song I wrote with Joe Firstman, for those keeping track of how I cannibalize my own material) I added steel drum to this song, as it has a breezy quality that works perfectly with an island drum.” —
