lyrics

theres a summer in my mind
i go there all the time
when my hair was short
and years were longer
i'd been thinkin on your eyes
been thinkin how the time flies
when we're having fun
we sure did

back when we were picking daisies
walkin by the creek, i
always said
the big words too soon
your hand
warm against my shoulder
told me in a whisper
i could go ahead and love you

just when i was sure of darkness
you wrote me a letter
seven lovely pages
of words
each one, poetry in motion
kept me writing love songs
sang em to the clouds
and the birds

there in the glow of all that
kept youth sacred
we were enchanted
and we did not know
and life was simple
coz it all moved so slow
and for a time
you were mine
long ago

in every tender passing instant
take the time to keep it
seal it in your heart
for always
look back
when you've got some distance
savor all the joy there
let it hold your heart in place
