"Sommaren är kort" is a song recorded by Tomas Ledin, which calls for seizing times when Sun is shining, as it can rain even in summertime, and time moves fast till the arrivial of autumn again.

The single was released in May 1982, peaking at 7th place on the Swedish singles chart. The song also stayed at Svensktoppen for four weeks during the period 23 May – 13 June 1982, climbing one step each week, from 10th to 7th place.[1] and stayed at the last Svensktoppen chart before the 1982 disestablishment.

The song was also at Tomas Ledins album Gränslös (1982). 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". The Spanish-language version was the B-side for the Never Again (1983) single.[2]

Stefan Borsch recorded the song in 1982 for his album En liten fågel. The song was performed by E-Type at Så mycket bättre.[3]

The Tomas Ledins single is one of the title for the book Tusen svenska klassiker (2009).[4]
