Lyrics
- The days we love best
Are the sweet days of rest
In vacation time
The sun shines above
And the world’s filled with love
In vacation time
It’s then you will go
With somebody you know
While your two little hearts beat in rhyme
Some place where there’s trees
Or a soft ocean breeze
In vacation time
Chorus
In vacation time, in vacation time
Up in the country or down by the sea
Out on the ocean or under a tree
In vacation time, in vacation time
Away from the crowd
You can kiss right out loud
In vacation time
- A row boat for two
With a beautiful view
In vacation time
Just drift with the tide
With someone by your side
In vacation time
An old country lane
When the day’s on the wane
In the twilight it’s sumply sublime
The best time of all
Is the time that we call
Sweet vacation time
