Remember That Summer

The heat is rising off the sidewalk
A cotton dress goes skipping by
For just a moment we make small talk
Before we smile and say goodbye

The big blue sky is free and fearless
Without a cloud to weigh it down
As if the world didn’t even hear us
The nights you helped me paint this town

Remember that summer sitting in the sun
Holding hands in front everyone
Racing to the ocean and diving in
The feeling of the water on your skin

Remember that summer walking after dark
And lighting up the night making human sparks
Dancing to the music of a single kiss
Making every moment feel like this

Remember that summer

Nothing like the smell of sunscreen
Mixing with the salty air
The perfect afternoon for ice cream
With a flower in your hair

Remember that summer sitting in the sun
Holding hands in front everyone
Racing to the ocean and diving in
The feeling of the water on your skin

Remember that summer walking after dark
And lighting up the night making human sparks
Dancing to the music of a single kiss
Making every moment feel like this

Remember that summer

January looks so beautiful
November has it’s charm as well
April warms the heart as usual
But summer casts a certain spell
