Summer…

That first warm day… Robins chirping in the trees, a meadowlark on the fence post…

May life always treat you that good… as good as the first day of summer…

Summer…

When I was young the days stretched out for so long
We spent them being wild and free, and singing along
To the song of summer and the wind that kissed the river
I thought those days would go on forever…

But here I am with babies of my own
Looking around and seeing how you’ve grown
I wanna fill you up with all the love and sunshine
And maybe put the slow down on this passing time

I hope life treats ya like the first day of summer
When the air ya breathe is warm and the days are getting longer
The sky is blue and all the birds are singing
The dream in your heart takes on new meaning
Summer…

Those first rays of sunshine kissing your face
May they always take you back to the place
Where your heart was happy and filled with the meadowlarks tune
And may you always be headed home soon

The way the river runs into the sea
Is the same way that life is supposed to be
Always changing and never staying the same
Though the past is gone I’m mighty glad it came

No matter where ya go remember me
That warm feeling in your hearts what I wanna be
Go and fly, spread your wings and roam
I’ll always have a place for you at home
