We still have the summer that we spent together before you went to college the nights we spent drunk on the beach you with your guitar me with my smile as the surf licked our feet the times we spent hip to hip looking at the stars on that patch of private grass down the street from your house all the times spent wagging our chins about whatever came to mind we will always have the summer
We still have the summer when the leaves outside my window turn crisp brown, apple red, and gold when the school bell rings like the doorbells opened upon kids trying to make five bucks When summer's lingering heat beings to chill and we are once again visited by the ghosts of our breath We will always have the summer
We still have the summer when winter comes along and maybe if we're lucky it'll be a white Christmas but this is Richmond so probably not but I hope we do the city looks so pretty all lit up on a snowy night We will always have the summer
We still have the summer when our birthday month rolls around a couple of April fools laughing our ***** off When new life springs out from all around and the spring showers turns the early morning grass into a field of stars or a Caribbean sea meeting a setting sun and the birds sing their pretty little hearts out just like you We will always have the summer
And when summer comes round again maybe I will see you not a care in the world a world's worth of meaning maybe we will go back to that beach the sun and salt turning our skin to leather until we look like a couple of Florida retirees happy and wrinkled Maybe we can gaze up at the stars or your ceiling fan It really doesn't matter Maybe these things will happen maybe not I find comfort in knowing that I will always have that summer
