Hi everyone,
can anyone tell me which is the correct form?

1. another summer day is come and gone away
2. another summer day has come and gone away.

I think 2 is correct, but 1 is from a song.

Can you help me, please??

thanks a lot in advance

Hi Alexia,

You are right, sentence 2 is correct English and as far as I know sentence 1 is line that can be found in a song by Michael Bubble. As a matter of fact, you can say a day is gone and maybe that is refers to gone rather than come.
