Summer is like a dream The one without the chill of winter winds Or the pretty oranges and browns of autumn leaves that fall unto the earth Where the flowers bloom and bees a-buzzing along Yes, summer is like a dream A dream where the sun reaches into places that's never seen the sun before The smell of roses in the heat is sweet The feeling of sweat rolling down my cheeks reminds me of my youth The floaty dresses, the loose pants The sunglasses and widebrimmed hats And all the picnics under the shade of cool trees I still taste the taste of peaches on my tongue And feel the feeling of the dirt and grass beneath my palms The gentle strum of a guitar during a scorching hot night The tender breeze against my skin, I can still feel it Everything is foreign and all too familiar at the same time Because summer is like a dream.
