Jul 2015
Lying underneath the evening sun
Listening to the birds up in their trees
At once the world is frozen in time
Problems swept away by the summer breeze
Hoping we stay this way, forever young
Before winter brings with it a bitter freeze

Times like these life seems so simple
Just you and me, not a care in the world
Youthful and free, our lives laid out before us
Before the world comes bearing down on our shoulders
Before our hair turns grey and our skin begins to wrinkle

After all the summers may come stormy weather
I know this feeling cannot last forever
Clear blue sky replaced by pouring rain
As long as you're with me, I really don't mind
The sun will still be shining, deep inside
