"Sommaren är kort" (In English: "Summer is short") is a song recorded by Swedish singer, songwriter and musician Tomas Ledin, which calls for seizing times when the sun is shining, as it can rain even in summertime, and time moves fast till the arrival of autumn again.
It was also recorded in English as "Taken by Surprise" (on his 10th album The Human Touch, 1982) and in Spanish as "Y Me Sorprendio".
In 2000, a pop version of the song titled "Sommaren är kort 2000" was released.
